(Bryan
Hiles & Cara Roberts)
Spring is here and so is the Hilton Arts
Festival. With only 12 days to go, the organisers hope festival-goers are
already planning their fest.
Spring has arrived! This means that the
27th Hilton Festival is a mere 12 days away. Don’t be fooled by the work
“spring” …you may need snow gear or a bathing costume … or both!
Getting ready for the change in season and
the Festival are performers Bryan Hiles and Cara Roberts.
They are both planning busy festival. Bryan
will direct Grandpa Grump and the Magical Junkshop and perform in Knot Again; The Forgotten Years of Donald K
Pumpkin and The Great Big Enormous
Turnip. Cara will be performing with Bryan in The Great Big Enormous Turnip and A Place of Small Miracles, and solo in Michael Broderick’s
whimsical The King of Broken Things.
