five.point.one would like to thank everyone involved in our very first Reading Sessions.

With 13 playwrights, 14 plays and over 60 artists involved, it was a huge success and we are overjoyed at the high calibre of new Aussie plays out there.

The Reading Sessions served to not only show us and the Adelaide community what wonderful writers we have in this country, but also as a way for Adelaide actors and directors to create new professional networks.

We're very excited by the outcome of the 14 day event, and will be announcing our 2013 season shortly.

Again, thanks to all the writers, directors, actors and audience who made this a most enjoyable season of readings.

Yesterday, five.point.one and the Adelaide theatre community lost a very dear friend and collaborator.

Cass designed all of our main stage productions and the company will miss her deeply. Cass was an exceptionally talented and generous person who gave so much to so many in the community.

We are blessed to have worked so closely with her. We simply could not have achieved all that we have in the last three years without Cass. She was a dear friend to us all.

Her memory will live on in all that we do into the future. Our love and thoughts go to her partner Ben Flett at this very sad time.

Vale dear Cass
