Melton Performing Arts (MPA) is inviting the community to join in the fun at its Social Night and AGM on Saturday, March 23.

MPA is planning a fun and inclusive evening for like minded people to connect and enjoy socialising over live-piano karaoke and musical theatre and general-themed trivia, before the Annual General Meeting.

MPA is a non-profit organisation which aims to bring drama, music, dance and all forms of performance art to Melton.

MPA General Committee member Rachel Chetcuti said the Social Night aims to bring together people who share a love of music, musical theatre and similar interests while encouraging locals to be part of MPA in any way they can, and boost performing arts in the west.

“It is really important for us to promote an inclusive environment, where people can feel free to be themselves, share their passion and have a few beverages, in a safe space,” she said.

“Even though we are a relatively new organisation, we have worked hard to build a foundation, to connect with locals and to encourage performing arts in the local community.”

Ms Chetcuci said last year’s event was a huge success, and MPA are optimistic they’ll have another good turn out.

“Attendees will have the opportunity to develop friendships with others of similar interest, and will be able to show off their talent with our live-piano karaoke, and show off their trivia skills,” she said.

The event will be held at the Melton Seniors Centre, starting at 6pm. Alcohol and soft drinks available to purchase. Byo Food/snacks. Tickets are $10.
