The fee of $35 waged and $20 unwaged includes delicious lunch and morning/afternoon teas, which are also excellent times for informal networking and exchange with other participants.

The Gathering is open to everyone - theatre practitioners, artists, audience members, interested public, men, women, students etc. Please register in advance so that we can best prepare the event and catering.

Two further days are planned, tentatively for the 14th of August and 23rd of October, to be themed “Inter-generational Conversations” and “Performance, Community & Activism”.
