Leigh Scully as Brent Lyall in Managing Carmen

Our upcoming Theatre Outing to MANAGING CARMEN, explores the theme of cross dressing in the hetrosexual world. David Williamson researched the role and found out that approx 80% of cross dressers are not gay so he wanted to explore that theme.

Here's an article he wrote in last Saturday's Sydney Morning Herald...

MANAGING CARMEN In the seventies I had a hit with THE CLUB, a play set in the backrooms of an AFL Club. Plays about football are a somewhat risky proposition for a writer as the sort of people who go to the theatre, according to an Arts Council study I read some time back, tend not to be avid sports lovers, but many years on I’ve written another play involving a footballer called MANAGING CARMEN.

But I don’t think I’m tempting fate because both of these...

So the question is asked...why travel to the Frosty Fruits Ski Trip?



Here's our top 10 reason why you should!

Fly in and ski OUT! In addition to being the highest Gay & Lesbian event in the country, the host resort is the only alpine village in Australia with its own airport! Just a quick 80 mins from Sydney and easily accessible via connecting flights from other capital cities. There is also easy access by road from Melbourne or Canberra.

Queens Quality Assurance!  As a gay business, we know what we would want from a Gay and Lesbian alpine experience. From the stunning on-mountain accommodation, to the fine dinning experiences, plus exclusive day-spa access and attention to detail that both your hosts and the resort staff are known for. In addition, you are booking in with an established registered Australian business, with a track record of delivering great events. We also work hard with all of our suppliers to ensure that you get the best deals.

Join the buzz at Australia’s longest running commercial Gay and Lesbian ski event, the annual Frosty Fruits Ski Trip, returning again to the love of Hotham Alpine Resort in Victoria. It’s great gay fun in the Alpine air and rainbow snow!

This is a fully hosted trip with stunning on-mountain accommodation, great runs, easy access and a full program of activities and events, both sporting and social.

The resort is easily accessed via air, car or coach. Hotham is the highest alpine resort in Australia with its own airport! Direct QantasLink flights from Sydney with connections from Brisbane, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth make this the easiest way to get on top. Fly in and ski OUT!

Drive direct yourself is always an option with the sealed Great Alpine Road your magic carpet to the snow. 

Melbourne guests also have the luxurious option of the direct Frosty Fruits Ski Trip coach, departing from Southern Cross Station and swooshing you straight to the snow....

Traditionally we head to a few musical’s during the year, in 2012 in addition to some big shows (such as Love Never Dies) we are looking to increase our attendance (and support) of our local theatre companies. To that end, we are booking into a number of shows at the Ensemble Theatre, plus a few at Belvoir Theatre.
