Dear Grif-friend,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Griffin workplace is bursting on the seams with anticipation, raucous laughter and the collective sound of busy arms crunching at keyboards\u2014as a result of we\u2019re lower than three weeks away from asserting our 2024 Season<\/a> (!!!).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so immensely pleased with our upcoming season\u2014significantly within the midst of so many large adjustments for our small-but-mighty firm. As you realize, subsequent 12 months, the SBW Stables Theatre will endure a serious redevelopment, which implies that our 2024 will look <\/span>very <\/span><\/i>totally different to our standard slate. Some issues will stay the identical\u2014we\u2019re nonetheless as devoted as ever to telling Australian tales on stage\u2014however we\u2019ve additionally obtained an entire host of big surprises up our sleeve. You\u2019ll have to attend with bated breath till our Season Launch on the night of <\/span>Tuesday 26 September<\/span><\/b>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t imply there\u2019s not ample wow issue buzzing within the SBW Stables Theatre proper this very minute. We\u2019re within the thicc (sorry, <\/span>thick<\/span><\/i>) of previews for <\/span>Nakkiah Lui<\/span><\/b>\u2019s <\/span>Blaque Showgirls<\/span><\/i><\/a> and if the utter ridiculous quotability of the present that has been whipping across the workplace is something to go by (\u201cJokes on you Chandon, I don\u2019t <\/span>have <\/span><\/i>any balls!\u201d), then you’re in for an absolute <\/span>deal with<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The staff has been grinding (each professionally and in Sani Townson<\/strong>\u2019s foolish, joyous choreography) to place the ending touches on this present. If I have been to attempt to outline this one, I’d say it\u2019s form of like a giant slap to the face with an attractive moist rhinestoned fish carrying a tiny cowboy hat and false eyelashes\u2014it\u2019s large, it\u2019s Blaque, it\u2019s drowning in faux fur and zebra print and pussy wigs and low-brow humour combined with high-brow instincts. It\u2019s postmodern with out being wanky. It\u2019s my favorite form of theatre and I\u2019m so pleased with the staff helmed by co-directors <\/span>Shari Sebbens <\/span><\/b>and <\/span>Ursula Yovich<\/span><\/b>. Come alongside and prepare to cackle with a wine in hand\u2014it\u2019s a heck of a experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And the present isn\u2019t simply contained to the auditorium. The Griffin workers in partnership with the present\u2019s Community Engagement Lead (the great <\/span>Neville Williams Boney<\/span><\/b>) have been working their tushies off to fill the SBW Stables Theatre lobby with odes to actual life blaque showgirls\u2014an A-team of Sydney\u2019s favorite Aunties, who you\u2019ll spot as poster ladies all through the area. We\u2019ve obtained posters, we\u2019ve obtained calendars, we\u2019ve obtained honest-to-god full-size cardboard cutouts. It\u2019s such a enjoyable setting to hang around in earlier than and after the present\u2014simply belief us and immerse your self.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Much love,
Declan x\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
