After six long months of rehearsals, it’s show day! 

Our Sysyphus, Head Common Person Neridah Waters and her dance captains, have pushed eight heaving boulders of enthusiastic and semi coordinated groovers up a hill the size of the Gabba Football Stadium for half a year and the end is finally in sight. Will Neridah get them all to the top, or will Our Head Common Person and all the dancers get crushed under the weight of their collective enthusiasm?
