In this special partnership between the Council and Goodspeed Musicals, you’ll not only get to see a hilarious comedy about the war between Australia and a flock of emus (that actually happened!), but you’ll also join a private Council reception and meet and greet with the writers behind the show.
The Great Emu War: Remember that one time that the Australian government sent their army with machine guns to wage war on emus in Western Australia? Neither do most people…but when Edith, the headstrong warbler, and her flock begin to feed on the wheat of local farmers–the humans take up arms against Australia’s favorite feathered friends. Think of it as Cats, but with emus. It’s the most emusing 90 minutes you’ll have in any theatre–don’t miss it!
