Merry Griff-mas!

25 November 2018

A festive fundraiser

About

All we want for Griff-mas is a new stage floor…

On Sunday 25 November, Griffin is holding a Christmas fundraiser to raise money for a much needed upgrade to our stage floor.

Iconic performer Simon Burke (The Homosexuals, The Misanthrope) is generously opening the doors to his home—and taking up the microphone—alongside a spectacular line up of performers, singers and storytellers including Genevieve Lemon (The Homosexuals) and Justin Smith (A Strategic Plan). Our hilarious Artistic Associate Phil Spencer (The Smallest Hour) will take the reins as our Santa/MC and the Griffin elves will be running a special Griff-mas raffle!

Your ticket price covers festive drinks and nibbles, fantastic entertainment and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’re literally supporting the very boards upon which our actors tread!

Performance Times

Sunday 25 November, 4 – 6pm

"The play is centred on amazing performances all round, with Althouse and Le Marquand perfectly juxtaposed yet constantly in synch." ★★★★★—The AU Review

"Green Park... is a stunning work of theatre in a challenging watch which is a mighty outreach of remembering and remembrance." ★★★★—Reviews by Judith

Some fantastic new reviews have come in for the Special Return Season of GREEN PARK by Elias Jamieson Brown, in addition to the universal acclaim of its premiere run from last year.

Two incredible performances, affecting and intimate sound design, and the poignant historical backdrop of Green Park make this an unmissable piece of outdoor theatre. Tickets are selling fast and there are just a few performances left—so book now!

WINDOW, CRICKET BAT by Hilary Bell is a gorgeous and hilarious chamber piece for a solo performer that takes place within the gallery space of @australiandesigncentre.
