So it’s a unique, once in a lifetime, occasion.
And Lithgow has something unique of its own — quite possibly unmatched anywhere else around the nation.
The Lithgow City Band is undertaking its most ambitious project in recent memory with a play that spokesman Don Smith says ‘re-imagines an essential episode in Lithgow’s Anzac story’.
It features a specially written musical score ‘The Lads from Lithgow’ by Australian composer Ian Munro.
The play is simply and quite appropriately titled ‘1915’.
There will be just three performances in the lead up to Anzac Day, evening performances on Friday and Saturday April 17 and 18 and a matinee on Saturday April 18.
All performances are at the Union Theatre.
Tickets for this home grown Anzac tribute are just $15 for adults, children and concessions $10 or family of four $40 and are now available at High Street Music in Main Street.
