Lights up for 2024! SPAT is turning 50

By Sonia Westwood of Stanwell Park Arts Theatre

This is the year that SPAT turns 50 and we have lots planned!

Following on from the success of our panto in December, we are kicking off 2024 with another series of the Improv Your Mind workshops.

Fresh from a triumphant second place at the Playmates Illawarra improv competition, SPAT’s Nurina Simpson will be running this series of five weekly classes starting on Wed 7th February.

There are no lines to learn, no performing on stage, and no competition, but there will be heaps of fun, opportunities to build your confidence, develop your creativity and experiment in a supportive place through theatre games.

The block of five classes is only $100. They’ll be held at the CWA Hall in Stanwell Park and run on Wednesdays from February 7 until March 6, from 6.30-8.30pm. Book at spat.org.au or call 0418 200 029.

Other plans for this year include plays, script readings, a Theatresports night, a special celebration event and of course the traditional Christmas panto, which is how SPAT began, way back in 1974. Keep an eye out and check our website for more.
