Main Stage: Crossing the Divide

The highlight of tonight’s entertainment is the powerful production Crossing the Divide, showing at the Armitage Centre within the Empire Theatres complex.

Using a blend of wit, humor, and profound respect, the play invites the audience into a true conversation about our shared history and future. It is a must-see for those who appreciate theatre that challenges perspectives while remaining deeply engaging.

Library Community Highlights

The Toowoomba City Library is the place to be for families and students today. The morning kicks off with the First 5 Forever sessions from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. These interactive workshops are designed for children aged zero to five, focusing on early literacy through songs, rhymes, and storytelling. It is a fantastic way for parents and caregivers to bond with their little ones in a supportive environment.

Later in the afternoon, the library shifts gears to cater to older kids and teens with the Stay and Game session. From 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, participants can drop in for a variety of gaming activities. No bookings are required, making it an easy after-school option for students looking to socialize and test their skills in a relaxed setting. Similar early literacy sessions are also held this morning at the Highfields and Pittsworth library branches.
