In this program, I look at ''HMS Pinafore', 'Spamalot' and 'Breaking the Castle' which are all opening in Canberra in the next week or so.

I also review Canberra REP's production of John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath', the tribute show, 'Remembering the Carpenters', at the Queanbeyan Bicentennial Hall, a preview of the French movie 'La Belle Epoque' which is coming to the Alliance French Film Festival in March and the one man show, 'Hell Ship' at the Q Theatre in Queanbeyan.

On the music scene I look at three concerts coming to the Wesley Music Centre and I review the recent Sydney Consort concert.

Also included are other announcements and information about the local performing arts scene.
