Show goes on, but not at ANAM (for the time being) after Town Hall roof collapses
ANAM has relocated performances and administration after the roof of the South Melbourne Town Hall partially collapsed on 18 October. The local arts community has rallied generously and rapidly, enabling all scheduled performances to be relocated.
Despite the need for extensive repairs, ANAM expects to be back at the Town Hall in the New Year.
Thankfully, no people or musical instruments were hurt.
