As we wrap up sharing moments from our recent Il Vento stagedreading and fundraiser, we’re still reflecting on the beauty of spending an evening at Carrick Hill ⭐️

With its garden and Tudor-style historic house, Carrick Hill provided the perfect stage for our new adaption of The Tempest before its journey to Verona for the World Shakespeare Congress.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us, donated, sponsored, volunteered and cheered us on. These moments of community remind us that theatre is never made alone!

With thanks to our generous sponsors and supporters Berrigan Wines - Adelaide Hills & Mt Benson, Late Cut Media, Gluttony, Highwire Event & Entertainment and to our Founders Circle! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Next stop: Italy! 🌿🌬️🎭
