IF THESE WALLS COULD SING

Stories of Parramatta shared through immersive theatre and song

From eel, yam and shepherd’s pie, to dumplings, samosa, sfeehas and the nori roll – how time and tastes have flown through Parramatta.

Through the eyes of the Rosella and the tastebuds of the Ibis, celebrate the history and culture of Parramatta as told through song, dance and feasting.

Meet the charismatic Flying Pieman and be transported to the time of the Inspector of Nuisances, Haydn’s Oratorio and the banning of Rock n Roll in Parramatta Town Hall.

Join us for an evening of historical highlights in Parramatta Town Hall as it opens its doors once again to its rich and diverse community.
