Hi everyone, well Covid has struck again, but we are sure it's for the last time.
We would like to announce that the reading of La Societa Italiana by Marita Wilcox is definitely going ahead but on a new date and time. And we're pretty excited about it!
The new date is Saturday April the 2nd 2022, still at the Carlton Courthouse Theatre - Drummond St, but right on the Italian, Lygon Street Fiesta week-end. How's that for great timing!!!

So looking forward to your company. Keep your eyes peeled for updates and a new booking link that we will post as soon as we have it. SALUTE!
