Set in the context of the climate emergency and COVID-19 pandemic, Clock for No Time asks the great existential question: What endures when ‘we’ are gone? It seeks to answer this question by juxtaposing the brain neuropathologies of Simone (who has an Acquired Brain Injury) and her father Ian (who has Alzheimer’s Disease) and how facing the realities of their conditions in the context of a father-daughter relationship may help Simone find the answer.

Australia’s only 24 Hour Musical Project returns to re-launch the 2020 show that Covid19 lockdowns forced into cancellation. On October 2nd & 3rd The Project will bring together a bunch of talented (and possibly slightly crazy) theatre makers to learn, rehearse and perform an all-singing, all-dancing musical in just one day. Profits and fundraising benefit the Actors’ & Entertainers’ Benevolent Fund QLD.  

The Victorian Government has announced a slow and gradual re-opening of Live Performing Arts, with no word on when major musicals and plays can get back to business.

The New South Government has unveiled a roadmap for when theatres can re-open in COVID-19 hotspots.

Restrictions will ease on the Monday after the state achieves 70 percent of the eligible population with a double vaccination - which is expected to be in October.

Theatres will be allowed to have a maxmium capacity of 75%, so long as they comply with the one person per four square metre rule.

Outdoor venues will will be able to have up to 500 people at an event.
