Another helluva day for Australia on Broadway. Massive congratulations Michael Cassel and the team at @michaelcassel, lead producers of ALMOST FAMOUS The Musical, which opens in NYC tonight. Go raise the roof of the Jacobs Theatre and knock & rock their socks off!

Vale the legendary Sue Nattrass AO. Friend, mentor, inspiration & moral compass to so many. This trailblazing venue director, festival director, arts supremo & board leader par excellence, gave time & counsel to hundreds over decades. Australia is the poorer for our losing her.

The return of James Thierree is just one of the dozens of highlights of the 2023 @sydney_festival, launched tonight by director Olivia Ansell. At last, post-covid, the festival can fly again, and this program soars! Congratulations Olivia and all at the Festival.

Attention all writers: applications for NIDA’s MFA in ‘Writing for Performance’, led by the terrific Joe Hepworth, close 31 October. Apply now for an excellent course in storytelling across media of film, television, stage and all screen & audio platforms.

Female cohort of @sydney_festival class of ‘02 nails it again! @TwomeyLissa, Chrissy Sharp, @virginia_lovett, @jill_colvin, Jessica Block, Sue Saxon, @KateRichardson etc. have all become cultural leaders in Australia & world. Huge congrats Lissa @TheAusBallet is lucky to get you!

"For Chrissy Sharp, the art truly was all"- lovely obit for one of the country's leading lights of the arts world by @brettsheehy

At last - fully vaxed with AZ and very happy!

One of my favourite pieces of architecture and a huge inspiration for the Other Desert Cities set @MelbTheatreCo

Two years since I posted this. Vale Larry Kramer - without doubt the most courageous man I ever met.

Virginia Gay’s brilliance has been an open secret for some time. She’s already an MTC favorite we adore working with. But her star turn in CALAMITY JANE is something else. This show’s an absolute gift. Big congrats @virginia_gay, @Richard_Carroll & all the @calamityjaneoz team.

Surprise pop-up on CNN news: MTC’s YouTube clip of ⁦@janegriffiths10⁩ reciting “Double, double toil and trouble” from our production of Macbeth. The story? Trump insulting witches by calling investigations into him a witch-hunt.

Earlier this year we spoke to #mtcNEXTSTAGE writer Dan Giovannoni about his new play, The Body for Cybec Electric. Join us at @MPavilion this Thursday, 6.15pm, for a FREE reading of this new Australian work.

HRC's @ktseelinger is in Oslo for the #NobelPeacePrize2018 ceremony to recognize the work of her colleague + friend @DenisMukwege and Yazidi activist Nadia Murad in the fight against wartime #SexualViolence. @BerkeleyLaw https://t.co/LD3P3q5lkQ
