More than 30 talented entertainers will perform at the Mayoress’ Charity Concert, The Rural Command Performance.

Mayoress Jenny Conkey reached out to dozens of local performers and ex-Wagga professionals to assemble the showcase of singers, musicians, dancers and comedians.

“Jamie Way, Lauren Carlson, Andrew Strano, Brent Dolahenty, Daniel Tooze, Karla Hillam, Carli-Jean Kulmar, Catherine Alcorn, Dale Allison and Caleb Richards are just some of the performers who have graciously agreed to perform,” she said.

“Our very own The Rural Command Performance variety concert will showcase the best Wagga talent on one stage.”

All proceeds from two performances of the show will go towards supporting youth development programs run by the PCYC, Mrs Conkey said. 

“I’m thrilled with the depth of talent in the line-up and to be able to present an incredible night of entertainment as a fund-raiser for the very worthy PCYC,” she said. 

Heather Wall, soloist and performer, said she is excited to be involved in the show alongside Cathy Wall and Meredith Adams. 

“We are going to sing a Carpenter’s melody and perform with other groups,” she said. 

“Personally I am getting to work with students I have taught over the years and it’s great to do something for the PCYC.”

Ms Wall said Wagga has to get out and see all the talent the city has fostered. 

Musical director David Wall said the groups have been hard at work to get ready for opening night. 

“The band has been rehearsing for about three weeks and there’s about 30 music numbers,” he said.

“All our rehearsal will come down to the night before because we are working with a lot of people from out of town.

“They all do their bit, we all do our bit and it will all come together on the night.” 

The Mayoress’ Charity Concert is on Saturday, July 28. Tickets are available at the Civic Theatre ticket office, by phone or online.
