SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'White Pearl' - Wharf 1 Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Anchuli Felicia King\nDirected by Priscilla Jackman \nThere’s no such thing as bad publicity… \nFrom the brilliant mind of Anchuli Felicia King\, White Pearl was a runaway smash on its 2019 Sydney premiere with co-producer Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta. After a hit season at Queensland Theatre in 2021\, this knockout production will return in 2022\, this time at The Wharf. \nBehind the sleek and unblemished facade of CleardayTM cosmetics — a market leader in Asia’s booming beauty industry — the scars of deep-seated prejudice are waiting to re-emerge. A team of young and ambitious women from across Asia is working to generate buzz for their new skin-whitening cream ‘White Pearl’. The problem? An ad in development has leaked early and it’s making headlines for all the wrong reasons. As views skyrocket and the ad is shared around the world\, the team races against the clock to get the situation under control\, to save their jobs and to lay the blame squarely elsewhere. \nWith razor-sharp dialogue\, nail-biting tension\, and caustic wit\, this rollercoaster of a production takes a nuanced swipe at cancel culture and toxic corporations\, exploring intra-Asian politics\, 21st century racism and the dark side of going viral. \nApprox. duration 1 hr 25 mins (no interval)\nContent Strong language\, adult themes\, sexual references and themes of racial prejudice. White Pearl dissects aspects of race and culture and contains content that may be confronting for some audience members. \n​​DATE: Wednesday 30 March 2022 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Wharf 1 Theatre\, Wharf 4/5\, 15 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay\, Sydney\, NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $70\, B Reserve $66\, Seniors cardholder $70 \nPurchase your tickets at https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/whats-on or by phone at the Box office on (02) 9250 1777 \nCherry and I have booked our tickets for Seats K5 and K6. \nPRE-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for pre-theatre Dinner at ‘The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf’ at 6.00pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au\, indicating whether you would like to join us for pre-theatre dinner\, as booking a table is required \nRSVP BY: Monday 21 March 2022 \n**************************************** \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2022 \nTo enable you to plan your diary\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2022.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'A Raisin in the Sun' (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:An iconic work of American theatre\, a testament to the power of family\, and a hymn to the Black experience. \nBy Lorraine Hansberry\nDirected by Shari Sebbens (the new Resident Director) \nLorraine Hansberry wrote A Raisin in the Sun when she was just 29 years-old and the play swiftly became a mainstay of the modern theatre canon. When it premiered in 1959\, the play was the first by an African American woman to be shown on Broadway and it continues to challenge and move audiences generations later. \nLiving in Chicago during the 1950s and optimistic about rising above the injustices that have shaped their lives\, the five members of the Younger family are all looking for ways to improve their lot: some through activism\, some through fortune\, and some through simple acts of self-determination. The arrival of a change of circumstance – in the form of a life insurance cheque – gives the close-knit family a chance to consider the possibility of a better life. But the distance between dreams and reality proves further than any of them anticipated. \nThis production\, by the Sydney Theatre Company\, marks the first time ever that A Raisin in the Sun will be performed on an Australian mainstage. It stars Zahra Newman and Bert La Bonté. \nApprox. duration – 2hrs 40mins (including interval)\nContent – Infrequent strong language \nDATE: Tuesday 5 October 2021 \nTIME: 6.30pm (pre-theatre 5.30pm) \nVENUE: Wharf 1 Theatre\, Wharf 4/5\, 15 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay\, Sydney NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $86; Seniors Cardholder $81 + Booking Fee.
