Kucom Theatre proudly presents… ‘The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race’, a comedy by Australian playwright Melanie Tait, opening on July 18 for a two-week season at Kucom Theatre.
Inspired by a true event in Robertson, New South Wales – home of the playwright and The Big Potato – ‘The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race’ is a hilariously inspiring tale about women taking action to break down the long-held male-based traditions of a small country town. The famous Appleton Potato Race offers a prize of $1000 for the winning male, but only $200 for the winner of the women’s race. Something’s got to give!
‘The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race’ is a Mackay Festival of Arts Fringe event.
