Another short, sharp, dynamic evening of new writing.

First Time Out is an experimental writing and theatre project designed to explore the threshold between a piece of writing and its interpretation. It is about the common ground between two forms of storytelling and the chance to explore the boundaries of each.

For 2010, we have extended the project to include new writing from students across all Faculties and Schools of the University of Adelaide.

Four performances only.
