Hand to God
What happens when Tyrone, a puppet made in a Texas Christian youth group, takes on a foul-mouthed, sex-mad life of its own? Robert Askins' adults-only comedy Hand to God provides some answers as shy teenager Jason finds his already troubled life - his father died not long ago and he and his mother are consumed by grief and unable to communicate - thrown into uproar by Tyrone's antics. This Everyman Theatre production is directed by Jarrad West. Did we mention it is not suitable for children? There's a lot of swearing as well as sex and adult themes. You have been warned. ACT HUB, various dates until August 13. acthub.com.au/hand-to-god.

The Ten Tenors return to the Canberra Theatre inspired by their American tour with arrangements of songs from Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Charlie Daniels, Australia's own Keith Urban and some of Country's first ladies. There will also be performances of some established favourites. They're performing on Saturday August 6 at 2pm and 7pm. canberratheatrecentre.com.au.
