Riverlinks’ coming show is JUST! annoying, stupid, crazy, disgusting, shocking and more.

Riverlinks and Regional Arts Victoria are presenting JUST! Live On Stage.

Based on the beloved JUST! series, this production will bring the world of Andy Griffiths’ stories to life like never before.

Here’s what to expect on stage:

Every year Andy’s school holds a short story competition and every year Andy writes an awesome, amazing, captivating and terrifying story.

However, every year Andy is robbed of winning, thwarted by some dumb story about kittens and sunshine.

That is because Mr Rowe is against him and the competition is rigged. Mr Rowe wouldn’t know a good story if it jumped off the page and bit him on the bum. And technically, Andy’s been banned from entering the competition after last year’s — incident.

But surely that can all be forgotten with a marvellous victory?! With the help of his best friend Danny, the love of his life, Lisa, his somewhat trusty dog Sooty and a lifetime of crazy, shocking, doomed, stupid and just plain disgusting experiences, Andy sets out on a night that will ensure a flawless victory.

Prepare for laughter, adventure and unexpected twists because in JUST! Live On Stage audiences will witness Andy’s outrageous escapades, which include everything from invisibility pills and Mudmen to vomiting dogs and death-defying balloon rides.

Riverlinks acting manager Hannah Shelton expressed her excitement at bringing the unique production to the Greater Shepparton community.

JUST! Live On Stage is a way for kids and families to enjoy the magic of Andy Griffiths’ stories in new way,” she said.

“The show not only entertains but also serves as an educational tool, fostering the love for literature and live performance among young audiences.”

The show promises to entertain audiences of all ages, offering the perfect opportunity for students, families and fans of the JUST! series to come together and enjoy the show.
