THE SEVEN by The Strangeways Ensemble 21-29 November Wollongong Town Hall…thanks for the write up ABC Illawarra!

Did you know The Strangeways Ensemble is Wollongong's only professional theatre company?

Their next show is called The Seven and it opens next Saturday at Wollongong Town Hall.

The story starts when seven friends are travelling back from Sydney to Wollongong after seeing a concert. An incident on the train forces them off at Helensburgh station and when they miss the last train for the night, they try and hitch a ride home.

Catch them on ABC Illawarra Drive this afternoon 97.3FM.
