The Come you Spirits troupe are proud to be returning to The Haven Amphitheatre for the Summer Solstice with their acclaimed productions of Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, The Tempest and their brand new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The seasoned professional cast perform the stories as an immersive experience designed to uplift the spirit and leave a lasting impression… they are fast, furious and full of heart. Harnessing the principals of sacred geometry, sound healing and Chi energy, the productions embrace the magical lore that Shakespeare wrote into his plays.

The Haven Amphitheatre is a stunning, open natural environment designed by Sir Walter-Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney-Griffin. It is an inspired environmental initiative and gift to the community. Audiences are encouraged to dress for the elements and bring a cushion to sit on.

Thank you to the Castlecrag Progress Association, Willoughby City Council and the Castlecrag community for their on-going support.

In the early 1970s a book titled CASTLECRAG was created by local writers and artists. It offers insight into the social and cultural life of the Crag during the 40s, 50s and 60s. The publication’s main purpose was to raise funds for the local public school, Castlecrag Infants, and in particular to fund the bushland regeneration and restoration of the school grounds.

Thirty years on, and fifty-odd years since publication, the second edition has emerged.

CASTLECRAG can be purchased directly from Jason and Leanne at Castlecrag Post Office for $30.

Willoughby Council, in partnership with RecycleSmart, has recently launched a wonderful pilot initiative for residents to have items such as textile, batteries, light globes, soft plastics, e-waste, small household items etc (see flyer March 2022) collected directly from their front door and recycled.

RecycleSmart will collect from front doors that are many steps from street level.
