Theatrical Production on International Women’s Day

Published on 19 February 2019

To coincide with International Women’s Day, Tumut Regional Family Services with support from Snowy Valleys Council is bringing the stage production Delores to Tumut.   

The 45 minute, one act play portrays two sisters, Sandra and Dolores, who are caught in repeating patterns of domestic abuse and are dealing with it in very different ways.

Council’s Acting Director of Strategy, Community and Development Phil Stone said Council is proud to be supporting Tumut Regional Family Services in bringing the play to Tumut.

“Council sees supporting community groups in bringing performance art of this nature as an engaging way for the community to come together to support and learn about different issues that may affect us and our communities,” Mr Stone said.

Dolores explores the difficulties and barriers women experience in speaking out about domestic violence.

sam. productions have partnered with White Ribbon Australia to bring Dolores to regional NSW audiences in March 2019.

The Samuels sisters hope to use the play as a platform to encourage conversation about Domestic Violence and raise awareness of the support available in Australia and local communities.

As a way to acknowledge the important work done to stop violence against women nationally and locally, the girls will be donating 10% of ticket sales to White Ribbon and collecting donations for Tumut Regional Family Services.
