Northern Rivers Performing arts (NORPA) is throwing a launch party tonight (Friday, December 6) and they want you to crash it. 

The theatre company is set to reveal the shows they’re bringing and creating in 2020 and they’re celebrating with a free party at 7pm at Lismore City Hall, with the bar and diner open from 6pm.

As well as live performances, music and food, Artistic Director Julian Louis will take you through NORPA’s 2020 program.

“2020 is set to be one of NORPA’s biggest seasons ever,” Artistic Director Julian Louis said. “We have collaborations celebrating local performers, animating the stories of our region and bringing the best of live performance to the Northern Rivers.”

“This is a challenging time for our region with the devastating fires, we hope the Launch will be a chance for us all to come together to celebrate the strength of our community and creative vibrancy.”

NORPA teams up with Dusty Attic to offer more live music to Lismore

NORPA has joined forces with Kate Stroud of Lismore live music venue Dusty Attic to further activate Lismore’s night economy.

Together they will present an exciting series of live music and performance evenings in NORPA’s recently upgraded Studio. 

The first Studio Session features the foot-stomping fun of five piece Sofiella & The Handsome Husbands and will kick off directly after NORPA’s 2020 Season Launch party. This is a free event for the community.

“This exciting collaboration means activating a valuable and untapped facility for the Lismore music scene, further strengthening Lismore’s cultural landscape by providing opportunities for artists to perform in a high-quality venue and providing a great space for audiences to come together to enjoy live music,” Kate Stroud said.
