Pricey Grif-friend,
Effectively, properly properly… if it isn’t me, Cassie Hamilton, Griffin’s Affiliate Producer, writing the observe for this version of Griffin Information!
I deal with coordinating all of the productions at Griffin with our Senior Producer Leila Enright. We kind of operate as a little bit of an amoeba (her phrases)—sort of a hive thoughts task-tackling method the place we tackle mammoth quantities of labor and intuit what every of us must do. It’s a novel and I might say efficient method! Nonetheless, past producing I’m additionally a playwright (OMG an rising playwright working at Griffin, who’d have thought?!), which has typically been a dream right here, with the one caveat being the week the place I began right here being the identical one I came upon I used to be shortlisted for the Griffin Award…
I promise I didn’t rig it guys—I had no concept—it was simply dangerous (good?) timing…
Anyway, I’m at present sitting right here ingesting iced espresso brimming with pleasure as a result of we’re launching our 2024 Season in 5 days’ time, on Tuesday 26 September!!! I actually can not articulate to you all how thrilling subsequent 12 months’s season is, with really a few of the most formidable, out-of-the-box and simply rattling mind-blowing works ever! There may be one present later in 2024 that I’m really stupidly excited for that may be a younger queer story in certainly one of my favorite genres. I even bought do one thing very particular for it that may be a little out of my job description. I can’t say what, however I can say have an in depth take a look at the poster for it…
However proper now we’re proper in the midst of our season of Nakkiah Lui’s riotous Blaque comedy Blaque Showgirls! This was the primary manufacturing I bought to supply from begin to end and what an absolute dream it has been working with this staff of masters of their craft. Each time I see this present I snort more durable than the final time I noticed it, and scream louder at each euphoric second of bad-ass bitchery (this second remark is predominantly for Jonathon Jeffery’s Chandon… god he kills it time beyond regulation). It’s been so nice seeing the opinions for the work and it receiving the excessive reward that it deserves! Even Jessica Mauboy got here the opposite night time and liked it! Do your self a favour and DO NOT MISS THIS!!!
Effectively, that’s it for me for now. Can’t wait to see you round Griffin at Blaque Showgirls and in 2024!
I’ll see you round! (and also you would possibly see me on a poster or one thing IDK),
Cassie
