The Sapphires

Quambatook is preparing for the performance of the popular Australian stage show, The Sapphires this week!

Initially scheduled to occur as an indoor performance in June, the same show will now occur outdoors at the Quambatook Recreation Reserve on Thursday, 3 October 2019.

Gates will open at the venue on the night at 6pm, with the show beginning at 7.30pm.

The stage show, first performed in 2004 and became the basis of the popular 2012 Australian film that won 11 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards, tells the story of four young Aboriginal women who learn about love, friendship and war as their all-girl group travels to Vietnam to entertain US troops during the height of the Vietnam War.
