Last Saturday we said our final farewells to the Set and Props stored for Emu Heights Theatre as we bumped them out of our storage garages at Penrith Lock-Up Storage.

Thankfully we were able to send all our set-pieces and materials to people who will get the most out of it: all items were donated to Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School in Emu Plains. We are delighted that the legacy of Emu Heights Theatre will continue with bright young creatives in the region: we wish the students and teachers at Nepean many years of usage out of them!

Our huge thanks go out to Amanda Rudolf, Anthony Vassallo and to all at Nepean CAPA HS for finding a home for our wealth of set-pieces; to Charlie, Ben and the team at Penrith Lock-Up Storage for being a major sponsor of EHTC and the above and beyond support you provided over the years; and to Paul Slack, Michael Fernandez, Grant Brett and Anthony Vassallo for your mega-strength and edurance in moving the (often incredibly heavy!) set-pieces); and to everyone who designed, constructed, used and gave beautiful feedback for the set-pieces that brought out plays to life over our five years, and proving just what is possible with brilliant minds working togethr in the West.

Recalibrating Culture - Survey Call Out

Western Sydney University (WSU) has created the following survey aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the working lives of artists/cultural workers in Greater Western Sydney. It will take about 30 minutes to complete: the more who complete it, the better a picture of the region's support for the arts and what arts development is needed and what priorities for WSU to focus on.

The research is being carried out by the Institute for Culture and Society at the University, and completed surveys will be collected and stored at the WSU in secure conditions according to university guidelines.

If you live and/or work in this area, take part in the Recalibrating Culture survey to support this research. The survey closes Friday 16 October.
