WORLD PREMIERE SEASON!
Part comedy, part concert and part midlife awakening, Middle Raged is a fresh, fierce and funny celebration of what really happens when women hit midlife. It’s the ultimate girls’ night out.
Created from hundreds of real stories shared by women across Australia, and featuring a powerhouse all-female cast and live band, this electrifying night of song and storytelling shines a spotlight on the riotous chaos of aging, raging and changing.
Featuring songs by Missy Higgins, Gillian Cosgriff, Tim Minchin, Sia and P!nk, Middle Raged celebrates the power and potential of a glorious mid-life and beyond, inspiring women to honour their own voice with laughter, song and sisterhood.
Because when you’re over the hill… the view is incredible!
1hr 30min. No Interval.
Ages 15+.

BY TRAIN: The Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre is a short walk from Penrith Station via Penrith Plaza.
BY CAR: Traveling from Sydney and the Blue Mountains, take the Mulgoa Road exit from the M4. Continue along Mulgoa Road and turn into High Street. Travel time from Sydney CBD can vary. The M4 can become quite congested with commuter traffic on Friday evenings so it is a good idea to allow extra travel time.
Generally, the trip by car takes an hour from the CBD. Travelling from the Blue Mountains is fairly straight forward (though extra time should be given for Sunday afternoon travel).
