500 Letters, starring Pauline Grogan

Catch this rare opportunity to see Pauline Grogan, one of New Zealand’s most enchanted storytellers tell the inspiring tale of her life.  “While Grogan’s experiences alone (Irish catholic upbringing, nun for 12 years, abuse from a priest, MARRIAGE AND 4 CHILDREN,  10 year old daughter’s stroke, MEETING THE  SEVERELY DISABLED JAMES LYNCH), give much food for thought;  the enduring message of  500 Letters is, quite simply, how much we undervalue the power of listening and being listened to.” - Theatreview, 2006

Saturday 18th October 08

8.00pm

Tickets: $35.00 ea; $28.00 Students/Sen. Citz/Groups 10+
