Introducing NORPA’s new Makers In Residence program — where artists are supported to imagine, test and grow bold new work, in conversation with our community and landscape.

This month we welcome actor and theatre-maker Imogen Sage as our first 2026 Maker In Residence. Imogen will spend two weeks in June developing a new one-woman work that interweaves Irish mythology, investigations into gender-based violence and trauma, and the local family history of Imogen’s Irish ancestral grandmother who disappeared in the Lismore area a century ago.

Imogen is also running two free theatre-making workshops while she’s here — spaces are limited so book now to secure your spot:
• Devising Theatre with Myth (27 Jun)
• Acting & Theatre Making (4 Jul)

Visit https://norpa.org.au/whats-on/ for details and book.

NORPA’s Makers In Residence program is supported by The Ian Potter Foundation.

🚧THE JOINERY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE 🚧 Blaze Projects are officially back onsite at The Joinery as we move into the final repair and fit-out stage.
With completion scheduled for early July, this phase will bring some exciting and practical improvements to the space — including new street-facing glazing, upgraded electricals, completed flooring, and reinstated kitchen and bathroom facilities. We’ll also be tackling repairs to fencing and gates, along with giving the outdoor courtyard a much-needed refresh. We’re looking forward to finishing this stage so we can start using the space.

NORPA is proud to support Tirra Lirra by the River, a major new Australian work premiering at Byron Theatre in.
Directors Heather Fairbairn (Prima Facie) and Kate Wild join forces with acclaimed stage and screen actor Toni Scanlan to reimagine this much-loved novel for the stage. Using cutting-edge audio-visual, the work travels from jazz-age Sydney to post-War London, creating a kaleidoscopic meditation on memory, imagination and belonging.

“Creating and directing Love For One Night the first time was an act of discovery. Bringing it back to the Eltham Hotel NSW with fresh voices and a new musical director – that’s where we get to lean into the work and create even more magic. I can’t wait to be back in the world of this show,” — Julian Louis.

Join us for the return of Love for One Night!
