Kelvin Grove’s Village Church and Communify are holding a Trivia night to save The Exchange, the suburb’s much-loved and busy community hub.  The Exchange is a community development project of Communify Qld.

Funding for The Exchange will run out at the end of the year, casting grave shadows over a space that provides education, social support and wellbeing for more than 700 community members each month.With a view to developing a long-term strategy, project workers at Communify engaged a part-time community development worker to assess and address the needs of a diverse and multicultural community. This rigorous research paid off, and since then, The Exchange has flourished, rapidly becoming a vital and integral place of learning, support and social connection.

La Boite Artistic Director David Berthold last night announced La Boite’s 2012 Season, “a year that will pull at the heart, stir
the blood and tickle the funny bone”.

The 2012 line-up of 10 productions includes five Mainstage productions and five La Boite Indie productions.

“We’ve rhymed some Shakespearean joy with summery Scottish charm, layered a mischievous hoax with a spellbinding
puppet, and crowned it with melting verses of tender napalm,” David said.

“I love what this theatre can do,” David said. “This is a theatre that allows for the most direct and fundamentally sensual
conversation between actor and audience I have ever encountered. Our shows – and they are shows, not just plays – very
often break down barriers in ways that spice the space with a frisky playfulness.”

So it's a beautiful Saturday morning and you're weighing up whether to stay in bed and read a book or get out of bed and do something productive with your day. Well, if you want to go with the first option then all the power to you, I hope it's a good book. However, if you do want to get out and about, feel the sun's rays, and do some shopping at the same time, then come on down to the Kelvin Grove Urban Village Markets.
