PLAY READING: ROULETTE by David Bermingham
Southern Highlands Youth Arts Council (SHYAC) presents the premiere of a one time only staged play reading.

SYNOPSIS:
Times are a-changing…relationships, friendships, futures…secrets and lies…divided loyalties.
Six friends are at a cross roads. Friends since High School are now questioning their lives and friendships and their place on the world stage. Let alone being in the comfort of the Southern Highlands. Some it may suit, others it is just a habit. The problems are formidable, the good times are hilarious and under the microscope truthful.

ROULETTE is a new play that has been work-shopped, from the perspective of 18 to 20 somethings. Young in age, but this terrific new play exposes the underbelly of our often self-satisfied lives and presents a view that may alarm, certainly enlighten and bring out laughter at how a younger generation view themselves and their region as either a death trap or something to be embraced.

*Suitable for audiences 14+ young, old and in between.

An amazing program to round out the 2020 Season, this concert welcomes back the brilliant young Australian violinist Grace Clifford with a debut for Selby & Friends by outstanding young Paris-based soprano Alexandra Flood and French horn player Nick Mooney, Principal of Flanders Symphony Orchestra. Artistic Director Kathryn Selby has created a program rich in song, melody, beauty and pathos with works by Schubert, Beethoven, the iconic American Eric Whitacre and Brahms gorgeous horn trio. This is a concert to relish and enjoy as we head towards the summer months and Christmas.
