Free High Impact Theatre Performance Coming To Empire Theatre

‘Love Drunk’ a highly entertaining theatre performance that puts sexual assault and binge drinking in the spotlight is coming to Toowoomba.

This performance is brought to the community by Phunktional Limited to entertain and open discussions with young people, their parents and the wider community about issues of binge drinking, sexual assault and racial tension.

When:  Thursday, 30th of April – 6:00pm – 8:00pm.

  • Where: Empire Theatre – 56 Neil Street, Toowoomba
  • Free refreshments, light supper and entertainment will be provided.

Gerard Veltre (Artistic Director of Phunktional): “The show is a lot of fun, we are performing in schools during the day and decided it would be great to be able to also do a special night time show for parents and the wider community. Whenever we have done this in other parts of Australia the adult audiences have always loved the show and found it really entertaining”
