_'Do I know you?' presented by MUSLSA_
Opens on Thursday!
How well do you know your family? Your friends? Or even yourself? For every answer you may think you have, MUSLSA’s got the question to trump you.
These questions, which will delve deep into the themes of loyalty, trust and risk, will be posed in the highly anticipated comeback of our Annual Charity Play: Do I Know You?
A comedic, thrilling and nail-biting play that’s guaranteed to have you laughing, crying and everything in-between! Get ready for a night of banter, fun and one very special video game that’s not quite as it seems…
All proceeds and profit of this play will be donated to the Foundation of Goodness. This charity strives to empower Sri Lanka’s upcoming generation through the use of technology in the classroom. MUSLSA has partnered with Foundation of Goodness and pledged to purchase laptops for a computer room at a Foundation of Goodness skill centre.
Date: 16 March – 18 March 6:30PM
Venue: Union Theatre

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must be enrolled in the course for the degree of Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne and be undertaking a second, third, or fourth-year English and Theatre Studies subject.

Lou Wall VS The Internet
I want you to think of the person you are most jealous of. This is a show about them. Well it’s also about me. And murder and the internet. But it’s also defs about them. Can you handle that? I can’t.
A high octane, action packed story delving into the Wild Wild West of the World Wide Web. This internet battle royale is brought to you by a Gen Z who would rather tell you their pin number than their daily screen time. It’s a Powerpoint-fuelled epic that sees Lou trawl the net to defeat the crushing isolation of an increasingly hyperlinked world.
SEASON: ACMI Gandel Lab, Melbourne Town Hall
March 30th – April 9th, 6:30pm (Sun: 5:30pm) with one show only at MTH Powder Room.
