Helpmann and Green Room Award team support independent theatre space in Sydney
Helpmann and Green Room Award winning team donating their time and 100% of ticket sales to saving a crucial independent theatre space in Sydney.
The Stars At Noon is a one-woman show that retells the story of The Space Race from the perspective of women. Jerrie Cobb, Jackie Cochran and Eileen Collins were fierce aviation pioneers who should have been the first women in space but were never given that opportunity. This touching and historically accurate show is filled with sacrifice, joy and heartbreak. These stories are a crucial part of the long and winding road of women finding their rightful place among the stars… amongst men.
