AUSTRALIAN PLAY READING

Friday August 27 @ 7.30pm.

Uniting Church Hall, Donnison Street, Gosford.

Uniting Productions hold regular play readings on the fourth Friday of every month.

August's reading will be an original work by local playwright, Frank Hatherley: My Henry Lawson. Actors Greg Eccleston, Lynne Baillie, Karen Ractliffe and Paul Ractliffe will present a rehearsed reading as directed by Margaret McGowan, thus providing a highly entertaining aural presentation.

Tea/coffee/bickies/juice are provided, all for a gold coin donation!

Why not bring a friend along and enjoy the general discussion after the reading.

We have a really big event coming up in September, and we want to let you know about it early so you can't say "Oh sorry, if I'd known earlier I wouldn't have booked a luxury spa day at 'Up Yours' Colonic Irrigation."

See, we are very excited Nerds right now. We have a brand new CD called "Courage in the Face of Absurdity" So we're having a gig at the Lass O'Gowrie and we'd roolly like ewes all to come along and make us look popular.

We'll be supported by Newcastle's own 'blur' grass specialists The Do-Riders. Their version of Prince's "Kiss" is something to behold. And they are planning to invade our stage, perhaps even play along on some Nerds songs.

Featuring experimental and new works by:

James 'Muffy' Star, Tammi Gissell (NAISDA), Julie Mundy-Taylor, Elizabeth Partridge, Minning Mini Kaiwarine More!!
