Just up from the University of New England in Armidale you will find the home of Mike, Darren, Alana and Brock; four students who have little more than their address in common. For two weeks they'll be found just up University Avenue from the ANU. Get yourself along to The Street Theatre to see Armidale, Canberra Dramatics' final production of the 2007 Season. Armidale follows a week in the life of five university students, exploring relationships and bullying and the melodramas of living in a share house.

We also welcome Peter Stiles, who has worked on many shows with Tempo Theatre, and Kerrie Roberts, who has an eclectic mix of plays in her bio.
