on to a West End production starring Madonna in the lead role. In 2008 SCARLET O’HARA AT THE

donations and bequests
Please consider making a donation to the
Ensemble Theatre. All donations over $50.00
will be listed in our production programmes.
Donations can be made personally or on behalf of
someone who has enjoyed the theatre over the
years. For a more lasting legacy and if you feel the
time is right why not consider making provision in
your will for a bequest to the Ensemble Theatre.
For more information please contact
Dallas Lewis [email protected] or
go to www.ensemble.com.au
Patrons are advised that the Ensemble Theatre has an EMERGENCY EVACUATION
PROCEDURE, a FIRE ALARM system and EXIT passageways. In case of an alert,
patrons should remain calm, look for the closest GREEN EXIT sign, listen to and
comply with directions given by the trained in-house attendants and if directed,
move in an orderly fashion to the open spaces outside the building.
The management reserves the right to make any alteration to cast which may
be rendered necessary by illness or any other unavoidable cause. Patrons are
reminded that out of consideration for others, latecomers cannot be admitted
until a suitable place in the performance. Taking photographs or tape recordings
during the performance is prohibited. Don’t forget to switch off your pagers and
mobile phones.
