FLOOD UPDATE
The shows will go on! Following the devastating impact of the flood on our venue we're pleased to announce that, with the help of many wonderful volunteers, NORPA and Lismore City Hall has got to a state where we are able to put on the following shows.
The theatre and bar is as lovely as it was before but the downstairs level was severely impacted by the flood. Please note we are operating with one phone so please be patient if your queries are not responded to immediately. Over the counter sales are available at a temporary box office upstairs but we encourage people to purchase tickets online. At this stage we are not able to provide the diner before NORPA shows and we encourage people to visit a local cafe or restaurant.
We've been overwhelmed by the support of the Australian arts community who started this fund for us NORPA Needs Our Help
A heartfelt thank you for your support and understanding.
From all the team at NORPA and Lismore City Hall. |

Circus Oz // Model Citizens
Friday 12 & Saturday 13 May
Set in a beautiful yet chaotic model kit world, Model Citizens seamlessly blends the risk, beauty and rawness of acrobatic circus with pumping live music, stunning lighting, breathtaking physical improbability and no shortage of absurdity.
Breaking conventions of scale, oversized everyday objects become an intriguing world of possibilities for our all-human ensemble - as these enlarged set pieces offer new life as exciting and unexpected circus equipment. Imagine hand standing on the top of an upright giant peg or juggling whilst balanced on an oversized stack of weighing scales.
Workshops: In the lead up to the performances of Model Citizens, Circus Oz will also be conducting workshops at Lismore City Hall 27 - 29 April.

In the '80s and '90s, they terrorised the world with their infamous live shows; provocative, psychologically manipulative, gleefully tasteless - D.A.A.S kicked political correctness out the door and gave it a damned good thrashing outside.

Big Think // Tracey Spicer In Conversation
Sunday 4 June
Tracey Spicer was always the good girl. Inspired by Jana Wendt, this bogan from the Brisbane backwaters waded through the 'cruel and shallow money trench' of television to land a dream role: national news anchor for a major network.
But the journalist found that, for women, TV was less about news and more about helmet hair, masses of makeup and fatuous fashion, in an era when bosses told you to 'stick your tits out', 'lose two inches off your arse', and 'quit before you're too long in the tooth'. Still, Tracey plastered on a smile and did what she was told. But when she was sacked by email after having a baby, this good girl turned 'bad', taking legal action against the network for pregnancy discrimination.
Tracey will be in conversation with co-founder of the Feminist Writers Festival, Dr Cristy Clark. This is Tracey Spicer full frontal: expect n entertaining, warm, witty and possibly shocking afternoon!

At a Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry in 1881, the men and women of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve went head-to-head with the Aboriginal Protection Board.
