SUMMARY:Katie Noonan @ The Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Five times ARIA Award-winning artist Katie Noonan has released her 30th studio album: Alone but All One. \nThe album is an intimate and powerful exploration of love in all its stages and features Katie’s first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is a powerful and delicate offering with Katie’s piano and a string quartet as the only accompaniment for her exquisite vocal performance. \n“This album is for anyone who’s gone through a life shift – not just separation\, but grief\, uncertainty\, or quiet reinvention\,” reveals Katie\, “It’s music for sitting with things. For remembering we’re not alone\, even in solitude. It’s personal\, but I hope it will resonate in a way that becomes collective.” \nIt feels like a deep breath before the next chapter. The creative intention is clear: to honour this moment\, share it with care\, and trust that others will feel themselves in it too.

SUMMARY:End of the World Show (a feel-good comedy)
DESCRIPTION:Age: 15+ – Content warning: swearing\, adult themes\, mature themes. This show is not for a sensitive audience. Accessibility: a high portion of this event relies on a PowerPoint presentation. Companion cards: please email Sandie at friendlyjordiestours@gmail.com. \nAt long last\, I am unveiling my meticulously researched\, scientifically flawless\, and definitely-not-panic-induced prediction for how the world will end. If you disagree\, congratulations – you are part of the problem. Enjoy your echo chamber while the rest of us prepare for the grand finale. \nJoin me as I break down the political incompetence\, corporate buffoonery\, and garden-variety stupidity that will bring civilization to a face-planting halt. It’s satire\, it’s prophecy\, and it’s disturbingly plausible. \nAbout Jordan Shanks – Jordan Shanks is a controversial political satirist\, documentary maker\, and podcast creator. He has produced over 3000 no-holds-barred videos for his YouTube channel\, has over 1.5 million followers on social media\, and his videos have been viewed over 330 million times. Jordan hopes he will foster some sort of interest in socio-political discourse\, maybe even stir positive change\, but most people keep asking him to dress up as a high school kid he once knew. Sometimes he complies.
