LOUD NOISES.
(21 Jump Street energy)

Then this is for you.

You’ll learn:
• How to write poetry that sounds good out loud

No pressure.
No berets required.

ONE WEEK TO GO, MUDGEE! 💜✨

How many people do you know who’ve been affected by domestic violence?
More than you think. Maybe a friend. Maybe a colleague… Maybe you.

Now imagine us turning one joyful, laughter-filled night out into some REAL support.

🎤 WHAT SHE SAID is almost here — and it’s going to be BIG heart, BIG laughs, BIG energy.

We’re talking:
🎶 Belt-it-out songs (yes, there will be Spice Girls)
🎭 Brilliant short plays (including the painfully relatable “Coffee Quest”)
📝 Poetry that will move you
✨ Stories that celebrate women’s strength, chaos, humour and power

This isn’t a heavy night.
It’s a vibrant, electric, feel-good community night — where you’ll laugh, cheer, maybe tear up a little… and leave feeling connected and uplifted.

And every single ticket sold helps raise funds for Mid-Western People Against Violence 💜

Funds go directly to essential items for people fleeing domestic violence in our community —
🍼 Baby formula
🩸 Pads & tampons
🎒 School uniforms
🧺 Everyday essentials that mean safety, dignity and a fresh start

Your girls’ night out?
Your date night?
Your “let’s actually leave the house” plan?

It becomes practical, immediate help for someone rebuilding their life.

📍 Mudgee Town Hall Theatre
🗓 Friday 27 Feb — 7pm
🗓 Saturday 28 Feb — 2pm
🗓️ Saturday 28 Feb — 7pm

Let’s make this a full house!
Let’s make it joyful.
Let’s make it matter.

Let’s show up for women — and have an incredible night doing it. 💜✨

💅 GIRL’S NIGHT OUT (noun)
A sacred gathering of gals, g**s, theys, and honorary besties dedicated to dressing up (or not), hyping each other up, oversharing just enough, and reminding the world that joy, chaos, and confidence look good on everyone.
