The matinee will take place on Sunday, May 29, at 2pm with the evening presentations taking place on Friday and Saturday June 3 and 4 and 17 and 18, starting at 7.30pm.
Bookings are essential and can be made with Sally at Finley Betta Electrical at a cost of $25 each.
Service NSW Dine and Discover vouchers will once again be accepted and those attending are welcome to bring along snacks and drinks. Tea and coffee will also be available.
The show is a comedy about a 25th wedding anniversary party that doesn’t go to plan.
Of course, when you throw misguided grannies, sordid affairs, maybe a stripper and even a cop into the backyard, what could go wrong?
And, of course, there is a twist just when you think you have worked it out.
Lots of laughs are guaranteed with what looks like being a great show. Add in a few new faces to the cast and anything could happen.
These shows are always very popular, and it is advisable to purchase tickets as soon as possible.

It has been a very busy few weeks for members of the Finley Art Network. beginning with the wonderful South West Arts Exhibition featuring Native Birds Endangered Species held at the Willows in Jerilderie on the evening of May 7.
This proved to be a great venue for the many very talented artists to display their works.
Members of the Finley group had been working on their own paintings for the exhibition and travelled to Jerilderie to find many were displayed and fitting in very favourably with the more professional artists’ displays.
Some of the birds featured were the Bittern, Plains Wanderer and the Mallee Fowl.
There is a website, called westrivarts.com.au where there is an item Rescue of Riverina Native Birds Project giving an explanation of the dire situation these wonderful native birds are in.
The paintings, including those from Finley artists, are all for sale and one of the local members has already been successful.
The following Saturday, the Finley group hosted a class of portraitures held by talented Tocumwal artist, Sue Machin.
It was a very relaxing and informative morning and very well received by the members.
Most used charcoal which was a medium not often used by some of the group; however, all were very surprised at the improvement in each of the four separate pieces they worked on.
The Finley Arts Network gallery is open each Saturday morning and Tuesday afternoon in Denison Street, next to the courthouse and new members are always welcome to join the group.
It is surprising how much talent can lay dormant until tried.
