Dear Griff-friend,
Heya! I’m Nathan—I’m the Ticketing Administrator right here at Griffin. If you get in contact to guide or change some tickets, there’s an excellent probability (40% perhaps?) that you simply’ll discuss to me!
I hope you’re having a really autumnal May. It’s jacket climate, it’s darkish earlier than I get dwelling from work and the sage in my backyard goes off so I’m cooking a lot of pumpkin gnocchi. Also in autumn, honeyeaters are flying up via Sydney headed for hotter climes. If you’re fortunate you may spot a yellow-faced honeyeater or noticed pardalote on its method up north. At the identical time winter birds are shifting down from the mountains—final weekend I used to be excited to see a pair of rose robins that had been very fairly certainly.
And talking of pleasure, do you know we’ve opened EOIs for Griffin Lookout 2026? It’s true! Some of my favorite Griffin reveals lately have been Lookout productions, like Jessica Bellamy’s A is for Apple and re:group’s UFO (shout out to these geese). This is the primary time we’ve opened this system as much as submissions, so when you or somebody you already know has bought an thrilling new piece of theatre within the proverbial oven, we need to hear about it! Get your application in by Sunday 25 May.
Four days earlier than that (is there a greater segue than the standard calendar?) is probably the most wonderful day of playwriting celebration, the 2025 Griffin Award & Keynote! We’re happy this yr to be partnering with Sydney Writers’ Festival, as a result of playwrights are, in spite of everything, writers. We’ve just lately introduced the finalists for this yr’s award in addition to our keynote speaker, the unbelievable Leah Purcell. Unsurprisingly, the occasion is offered out—keep tuned to our socials for the announcement of the winner.
Finally, this week the crew for Koreaboo by Michelle Lim Davidson began rehearsals! We’ve had a few readings of this play over latest months and everybody right here is abuzz with anticipation. The Griffin workers Okay-pop playlist has been blasting within the workplace—even when the cruel screening course of has left a sure Ticketing Administrator’s favorite tune out within the chilly. But Koreaboo is a beautiful script crammed with a lot coronary heart and pleasure. Michelle and Heather Jeong are going to be unbelievable on stage collectively, so soar on-line or give us a name (40% probability for me!) and seize your tickets.
Siri, play Daddy by Psy.
