STAGE MANAGER ANNOUNCEMENT: SODALICIOUS

Introducing our amazing behind the scenes extraordinaire Stage Manager -SodaLicious! SodaLicious is a Filipino Indigenous Australian who belongs to the Nanda people.

Brown sugared caramel is the tingle on your tongue, as you take in the huge gulp that is this red-blooded concoction of seduction. Why settle for a dark and stormy, she is a Bla(c)k and tempestuous; a temptress with an electrifying bolt of pop. With sunny disposition, bask in her golden ochre radiance as it dawns on your deprived taste buds, for none other than SodaLicious can quench that deep dry thirst.
