Hi Neighbours,
The Brooklyn Community Association (BCA) - the awesome people who operate the Brooklyn Community Centre, produce the Tattler, run the community markets, provide a recycling drop-off area for locals, provide OSCAR accredited childcare programmes, welcome our seniors weekly to our Friday Circle group, act as the local Meals on Wheels hub, and have a big hand in bringing the Brooklyn Festival to you, are having their AGM this SUNDAY at 3PM. Please come along and support the people who do so much for the wider Brooklyn community. Without the BCA Brooklyn would not be the welcoming, community oriented suburb it is and we need locals to get involved and support us. The official bit will be short and sweet, followed by afternoon tea.
Hope to see you here.

‘A perfectly pitched family drama’
Gus Lochburn is a celebrated pianist. But this weekend he is being moved into a care home.

His three grown children have the weekend to pack up his life, their childhood, and the memories of their mother into neat boxes. It’s been five minutes – they are already at each other’s throats.

Between fights and fugues comes magic, memory, and music.

Starring a celebrated cast of actor-musicians, performing soaring symphonies and jazz standards. and the Lochburns is brought to life by an exceptional band of award-winning theatremakers, including married duo Andrew Paterson and William Duignan, and designer Meg Rollandi (NZ National Curator, Prague Quadrennial 2023).

Regress back to childhood squabbles, pubescent spats, and fights over pizza slices, in one nostalgic night of loss and laughter.

This touching new play is a world premiere not soon forgotten.
