🎭 Can you help me bring Wilde in Winter to our beautiful Huon Valley in 2027?

Wilde in Winter will bring 3 of Oscar Wilde's fabulous plays to audiences throughout the Huon via intimate live play readings.

Directed by me, Lisa Gormley we will create opportunities for 15 local artists while making classic theatre accessible to our community.

As we approach the end of the financial year, I'm asking for your support. If you're in a position to give, even a small donation makes a genuine difference.

Every contribution helps cover venue hire, artist fees and the costs of bringing this project to the stage.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible, and 100% of your donation goes directly to the project through the Australian Cultural Fund.

If you've ever enjoyed live theatre, believe artists deserve to be paid for their work, or simply want to help keep local arts thriving, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you for believing in this project and sharing this journey with me. Lisa Gormley❤️

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to our audiences in both Huonville and Hobart who came to share this little show with us. Over 450 people watched Virginia work her magic with Peggy.

It is a play very much of its time, but despite this it managed to touch so many hearts.

Without our wonderful sponsors this wouldn't have been possible. So thank you again to Cascade Brewery Co Frank's Cider Homelands Real Estate Magical Lucindale - Tasmania .

This was an extraordinary effort from the Kamino family. Without their heart, commitment and creativity it would not have happened.

We can't wait to see you in the theatre again soon.

All our love ❤️
