3 BILLION SECONDS

3 BILLION SECONDS By Maud Dromgoole Director Claudia Elbourne; with Izabella Louk Devastated to discover they’re having their first child, militant climate activists Daisy and Michael attempt to reconcile their views against the inevitable emissions of bringing a child into the world, and embark on a mission to offset their future child’s carbon footprint. Becoming more and more tangled in chasing a net zero existence, the couple lose sight of reality and take it on their own shoulders to ‘make room’ for their future child’s carbon emissions. Messy, ugly, and proud of it, Maud Dromgoole’s 3 Billion Seconds asks the difficult questions you definitely don’t want to answer at a dinner party (but definitely have an opinion on). A little bit right, a lot bit wrong, and utterly hilarious, come and judge the chaos for yourself.

DANCING AT LUGHNASA

DANCING AT LUGHNASA By Brian Friel Director Isabella Milkovitsch “I want to dance, Kate. It’s the Festival of Lughnasa. I’m only thirty-five. I want to dance.” It’s the summer of 1936, during the pagan festival of Lughnasa, and young Michael watches his five aunts navigate the fragile joys and looming hardships of rural Irish life. Brief moments of freedom, hope, and love flicker through the household only to be threatened as economic pressures and family upheaval close in. Widely regarded as Brian Friel’s masterpiece, this semi-autobiographical memory play is a haunting and affectionate portrait of five unmarried sisters whose fierce spirit and resilience shine even as their world begins to change forever. Please purchase your own preview tickets via the link below & only then RSVP ATTEND. The show starts at 7.30 pm so I will meet you about half an hour before. https://newtheatre.org.au/dancing-at-lughnasa/ The membership fee is available via the link below.

This will avoid us spending time on account-keeping, which means we can instead focus on making the games as fun as possible! We have Facebook and Instagram pages, on which we post group photos and occasionally other announcements. Feel free to Like :) [https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/](https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/) [https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney](https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney?fbclid=IwAR2fMlbCnv1PVQXX0xO7d6d_4mMDsXtT3dcs1awToamKK-ag1AAQhVYyPLQ) **FAQ** **Location & Parking** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7) Between Church St and Sorrell St. Near the river. Down the stairs from the Riverside Theatre and to the east along the path. If you have trouble finding us, please post in the event comments as we'll keep an eye on this. Parking is free and usually ample in northern Parramatta, in Sorrell Street and surrounding streets to the north of the river. **Instructional videos for newcomers** For those completely new to the concept of theatre games or improvisation, you might find the following instructional videos helpful to you: 1. The importance of facing the audience in the right way [https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA](https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA) 2\. The importance of not saying "no" to everything in a scene: [https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8](https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8) **Why is my status saying "Unpaid" even though I have paid?** This is due to a bad design feature of the Meetup website, please ignore it! **Keeping up with the latest news and related fun events** Go to our Facebook Discussion Group. This is a fun way to share improv/comedy clips, discuss improv and generally chat with the cool members of our group! [https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450) **What if it rains?** The bridge has been chosen for this reason! A large concrete apron exists under the bridge - easily measuring 5 metres deep and at least 10m long. More than enough space to perform in and yet still provide shelter from rain. **Can you help promote my event / group / cult?** Yes.. but within reason! We love to help our members who are doing awesome and creative projects. The problem is that because we get asked to promote things so often, we cannot do so via social media posts. As this would cause our members to be "spammed" and announcements about upcoming events to get buried. However, there are still two ways we can help to promote your project. Firstly, please feel free to post on our Facebook Discussion group. Secondly, you are also welcome to post in our [Meetup Forum](https://www.meetup.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park/discussions/), where your post may be seen by our 1,800+ members. Lastly, we may be able to help in additional ways if you wish to share an opportunity for our members to perform. In this case we may be able to send a Meetup Message to our members, or to announce it in person at our events. **What if I have other questions?** If possible please post any questions in the comments area below rather than directly messaging us, so that others can see the answer too. This will allow us to spend less time answering messages, and more time making the games as fun as possible!

Meryl Streep returns to her iconic role as the exacting Miranda Priestly, the editor of the fashion magazine Runway, who is nearing retirement. In this new chapter, Miranda navigates a digital-first world and declining print media. Former assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt) is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Runway and Miranda desperately need. Miranda's other former assistant, Andy Sachs (Hathaway) and art director Nigel Kipling (Tucci) also reprise their characters, twenty years on. Expect plenty of over-the-top glam in this star-studded follow-up, and cameos from megastars including Lady Gaga and Lucy Liu. **Movie Trailer** [YouTube trailer](https://youtu.be/2MRMJUTZkbE?si=1Z2J48QCGdBhZR5Q)
