More info about Project North is available Barwon Health Foundation website.

We look forward to making further announcements over the coming weeks about how you can support Medimime for 2022 and beyond!

 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.

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. 

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.

Brrr! It's pretty chilly out there and doesn't look like it's getting warmer anytime soon!

Enjoy your new found freedom while keeping your melon warm and snug by grabbing your very own Medimime Beanie! On sale now and ready for collection this Saturday!

Head to our online store now and buy yours today.

Be quick, limited stock available!

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.
