The show is raising money for Impro Australia’s new Indigenous Theatresports Youth Fund, aimed at bringing free Theatresports shows and training to indigenous youth across the state. The first project kicks off in October at the Redfern Community Centre with plans to extend to the rest of Sydney, regional NSW and remote communities.
Celebrity Theatresports takes place at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday August 6. Tickets start from $28.55 and can be bought here. For more info visit the website here.
