The French theatre in Melbourne gives bi-annual performances in French with English subtitles. The company can also organise school excursions, and holds readings and workshops.
Worth the constant visit to Saint Kilda for ongoing events.

Also worth visiting the library if you live far from Camberwell library (which holds an excellent collection as it's next door to the bilingual school!).
