Rous Unplugged - A Truly Magical Entertainment Experience!
An appreciative audience!
Rous Unplugged is a monthly unplugged event in Rous Mill, near Alstonville, in Northern N.S.W., Australia. It features talented musicians, poets, dancers, comedians and other performance artists from both nearby and afar.
The idea behind Rous Unplugged was the creation of a local community event where our performers, both new and experienced, could bring their particular gifts to the acoustic stage and hone their skills whilst providing an excellent, high quality entertainment experience for the audience.

True to its name, Rous Unplugged is a completely unplugged event and the acoustics of the beautiful Rous Mill Hall bring their magic to this special evening and provide an awesome venue with great sound.
Rous Unplugged is held on the last Friday of each month, starting at 7.00pm sharp. Doors open at 6.30pm. We are trying to make Rous Unplugged as accessible to all as possible, and therefore we charge a very low entry fee of $3.00 per person, whether performing or not.

Rous Unplugged is a non-profit venture and all profits are donated to the New Alstonville Preschool - which is in the process of being designed and built in Alstonville to service the future preschoolers of Alstonville. To date Rous Unplugged has donated $7071 to the New Alstonville Preschool.
During the interval, a wide range of teas, coffee, chai, biscuits and cakes, etc. are available, courtesy of the parents and staff from the New Alstonville Preschool committee and a further donation is encouraged - but not required. It's a great opportunity to meet some old friends and make some new ones.
