I’m a little late posting about this due to catching covid in the aftermath, but I’m very happy to say that The Red Dust 红尘 with Marian St Theatre for Young People premiered swimmingly at Ku-Ring-Gai Town Hall in July! Our Friday and Saturday night shows were sold out, and the piece was beautifully received by the community. I was sadly not there in person, as I was attending Tin House Summer Workshop in Portland, but I was able to video call in on one performance and cheer on the cast and crew as they performed live. You can read more about the show and look at some amazing production shots at this link here.

Many thanks go out to Marian St Theatre for Young People (MSTYP), who produced and supported this show for the past two years, and to the Institute for Australian and Chinese Arts and Culture (IAC) at Western Sydney University for their unwavering support. Obviously big thanks to the Chinese Australian Seniors Service (CASS) and MSTYP for their enthusiastic teens and elders! And to all the crew and creatives who gave their hearts and souls to the show.

The Red Dust 红尘 should be coming back to a theatre near you (if you’re in Sydney) some time in the near future, so stay tuned!
