Merrigong Theatre Company has received a share of the latest funding allocation announced by the Australia Council for the Arts, with a $21,443 boost for a new work from the Merrigong’s permanent company of professional actors, The Strangeways Ensemble.

The Australia Council grant will directly support The Strangeways Cabaret, a rollicking new cabaret curated and performed by the Ensemble and invited guests, premiering in The Music Lounge this September.
