Legends of the Skies presented by LOTS Theatre at the Moorabbin Air Museum will this year pay tribute to the MacRobertson Trophy Air Race of 1934.
With performances presented from October 24 -27 as intimate theatre in the atmospheric Casey aircraft hangar, LOTS Theatre aims to recreate the excitement of the trials of air travel 100 years ago.
This tribute to the 90th anniversary of The MacRobertson Trophy Air Race – said to have put Melbourne clearly on the global trade map – tells of the drama and fun that surrounded the entrants, with storm blackouts, planes bogged down or crashing and knitting to pass the time – all told through songs and stories.
A short Q and A is offered at the end, and during interval, patrons are welcome to have a quick look at the huge Pacific Hangar, the main feature of the Moorabbin Air Museum.
To learn what Anne Maree Pollard’s knitting has to do with The MacRobertson Trophy Air Race, tickets can be booked through Trybooking.
Performances: October 24, 25 at 7.30pm, October 26, 27 at 2pm
Venue: The Casey Hangar, Moorabbin Air Museum, 12 First St., Moorabbin Airport
Tickets: All $20
