Troupe to capture Logan's stories of resilience

The City of Logan's stories of resilience following Cyclone Alfred will be brought to life through improvisational theatre at an education and awareness event this month.

The May 21 event, run by Logan City Council, will allow residents to share their experiences during Cyclone Alfred and see their stories depicted on stage by the Red Threads Playback Theatre Troupe at the Beenleigh Events Centre.

It is a free event intended to highlight the incredible work of the community that kept Logan safe during and after the cyclone in early March, 2025.

Afternoon tea will be provided. Bookings are essential and can be made here.

Locals can also share their stories of resilience via haveyoursaylogan.com.au/projects/showcase-logans-resilience
