PART OF THE BACK TO NAMBOUR WEEKEND!
Nambour Civic Centre
Centenary Square, Nambour

Celebrate your inner Nambourian in style at the Nambour Civic Centre during the ‘Back to Nambour’ Weekend!

Dangerous Curves is the story of three 45+ women who went to university together & decide to get out of Brisbane & drive north for some respite from their busy lives.

Their weekend takes them on a wild ride which ends up in Nambour. The home town of one of the women & of course it's also the home town of Kevin 07 & Wayne who she went to school with.

The women's crazy journey takes them to places which give them a new way of viewing themselves, each other & their worlds. This funny & moving musical extravaganza has been described as a cross between "Thelma and Louise" & "Strictly Ballroom". It is a life affirming piece which is gutsy, poignant & real.

Join Rainee Skinner, Glenda O'Sullivan, Sam Saunders & their fabulous friends on a hilarious musical road trip to Kevin and Wayne's heartland.
