Its official.
US-A-UM is launching a new bi-monthly play-reading program:

Play by Play’ is a double dose of new Australian playwriting.
It is a space to be bold, a space to embrace risk, a space to be heard.

But what is 'Play by Play'?
New scripts by emerging Australian playwrights are given a director, a cast, and a few rehearsals. What follows is a Play by Play. For this inaugural US-A-UM event, join in hearing the readings from two new plays:

TRIUMPH by Louris Van Der Geer

and

BABUSHKA by Jessica Bellamy


There may be laughs, there may be tears, and there will definitely be a drink or two.

Play by Play is coming to Sydney on Oct 23rd.

Hosted by the wonderful 107 Projects, tickets on sale soon.
With only 1 showing, its bound to be a hot ticket.
'Like us' to stay in the know.
