DRESSING GLAD

Shelley is currently curating an exhibition for Bundaberg Regional Galleries about the talented Gladys Moncrieff.

​

In 1929, Gladys Moncrieff asked “gallery girl” Elsie Wilson to go on tour with her to help out behind stage as a dresser. That role lasted for 46 wonderful years and over that time, they became life-long companions.

In the installation in the VAULT, step into the dressing room and sit and admire the immeasurable singing talent of Bundaberg-born operetta and musical comedy performer Gladys Moncrieff. Hear first-hand from an ABC interview with Elsie, what it was like to be on the road with Gladys and her journey from humble beginnings in Bundaberg to becoming one of the most famous and loved singers of her time.

​

On show from 13th November 2021 - 6th February 2022 at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery, 1 Barolin Street, Bundaberg.
