Hall Stories - Rural Towns Tour

Next date: Saturday, 11 October 2025 | 07:00 PM to 08:15 PM

WPACC will be hitting the road in 2025 bringing our Rural Towns Tour to Cheshunt, Eldorado, Boorhaman and Everton presenting Hall Stories with Damian Callinan.

There is barely a bakery in regional Australia, that hasn’t had one of Damian Callinan’s show posters blu-tacked to its window. In Hall Stories, the celebrated actor, comedian and creator of the hit Netflix film The Merger, combines his skills as a storyteller, stand-up and character actor, to pull back the curtain on his own tour stories and examine the quirks, traditions and characters of Australian halls and meeting places.

In this particular show, Damian will also be spending time with the local community to delve into the history and characters of each town, and the role that it plays in the broader community.

As well as the show, he will later deliver a podcast to document the story of each town, Hall Stories is Callinan doing what he does best, where he does it best. He knows how to talk over a bubbling urn; wind up when the CWA head into the supper room and stack the chairs in 5’s at the end of the night. You just let him know where to get the hall key, and he’ll do the rest.
