We look forward to making further announcements over the coming weeks about how you can support Medimime for 2022 and beyond!
Production Postponed
With the ever-present restrictions and limitations due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Medimime Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone our production of The Little Mermaid which was due to hit The Palais Geelong stage in November 2021 as well as April/May 2022.
As you know, Medimime’s purpose is to stage an annual pantomime to raise funds for Barwon Health that will support the vital services they provide our community. With the restrictions placed on venues, density limits and increased local exposure sites, it has become apparent that continuing to pursue a production in the current climate is not a safe option or in the best interest of our community.
If you have already purchased tickets for our production, The Palais will automatically refund all existing tickets, if you have not received your refund, please contact The Palais directly via their website.
In the meantime, stay safe and well and thank you for your support during these difficult times.
First (in-person) Rehearsal!
Here are a few images of our first in-person rehearsal for The Little Mermaid from Monday night. Such a fun night for everyone involved and a wonderful start to our production. We are very excited about the next 3 months.
Being COVIDSafe!
We are so excited to be kicking off in-person rehearsals tonight for The Little Mermaid, in a COVIDSafe way, thanks to the City of Greater Geelong’s support.
Through COGGs COVID-19 Quick Response Community Grants Program, we were able to purchase sanitiser stations, face masks, a check-in tablet and a few other items to make our rehearsals as safe as possible.
Medimime Beanie Update!
Thanks to everyone who has helped kicked off our fundraising efforts this year and purchased a Medimime Beanie! We've sold over a third of our Beanies in the first 48 hours! How good is that!
To put an order in for one or five of our beanies, head to our online shop at www.medimime.org.au. If you buy your Beanie before 11am tomorrow, you will be able to pick it up on Saturday too, just in time for weekend adventures!
First (online) Rehearsal!
Not exactly what we planned for our first rehearsal of The Little Mermaid but it turned out to be a night full of laughter as the cast read through the script for the first time!
First Rehearsal Prep!
We picked up these beautiful scripts from our good friends at Geelong Reprographics today! They always do such an exceptional job with all our printing!
The Committee and Production Team are so excited about our first rehearsal tomorrow night and can't wait to share this wonderful pantomime with you all in November.
New Medimime Beanie
Brrr! It's pretty chilly out there and doesn't look like it's getting warmer anytime soon!

Audition Cancellation
With today’s announcement from the Victorian Government regarding the 7-day extension to the current lockdown, we will be cancelling our auditions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Anyone who has already booked an audition for The Little Mermaid will receive an email from Medimime later this afternoon explaining our next steps. If you have any immediate questions or concerns, please reach out directly.
In the meantime, take care and keep safe.
Auditions!
After missing out on staging our show last year, it's been fantastic to see such a wonderful response from everyone about this year's pantomime!
With no Information Night this year, if you are interested in auditioning, all you have to do is head to Medimime Auditions for everything you need to know about our 2021 production of The Little Mermaid and much more!
