Forever-Ever? What if the clock stopped ticking … its on now! So book already!

fee_poster_web1Forget about Ramsay Street and Summer Bay, the hottest spot in Australia is Western Sydney!

Aged between 14 and 18 years of age, the Power Up Ensemble come from across Liverpool, Fairfield and Bankstown. Armed with passion, and a whole bunch of talent, these performers have devised a show about time and living life to the full.

Forever-Ever?… asks the question, “What if the clock did stop ticking? How would you live your life if tomorrow was your last?“

The show begins at a Year Six Farewell and unfolds as we follow the life stories of a group of students once they have said goodbye to primary school forever. On this night the clock stops ticking for one student and time is thrown out of whack…

Through a series of scenes that warp between the past and the future, audiences are taken on a journey across the time continuum; Forever-Ever? explores love, loss, relationships, ageing, seasons, life and death.

A mix of comedy, hip-hop and powerful musical voices, the 12 performers shine with a balance of levity and gravity that will leave any audience entertained and moved.
