Speaking of last-minute on-line items, in case you\u2019ve obtained a theatre lover in your life, why not head to the Griffin web site and decide up a Gift Certificate<\/a> for a 2023 subscription<\/a>?

This time final yr I used to be in the midst of stage managing the Prima Facie<\/em> return season on the Seymour Centre (post-Delta, pre-Omicron), and attending some readings of the Griffin Award finalists. And now mockingly, I\u2019m placing all of the items in place for the Prima Facie<\/em> tour to Melbourne Theatre Company<\/a> in February, and entries for the Griffin Award 2023<\/a> shut in only a few weeks.<\/p>\n While we might have already closed the doorways to the Stables for 2022, we\u2019re definitely conserving busy as a result of we\u2019re properly into planning our first manufacturing for 2023\u2014tickets for Nicholas Brown<\/strong>\u2019s tantalisingly tantric Sex Magick<\/em><\/a> have simply gone on sale from this week (together with tickets for our first Griffin Lookout present of the yr, UFO<\/em><\/a>)!
