So WWT will use the play written by Australian playwright David Williamson in 1971, to raise money for the Wollongong Women's Information Service - a local organisation that support women and families in crisis.
Five dollars from every ticket sold during the season of The Removalists will be donated to the service.
Last year, WWT's production of The Laramie Project raised over $1100 for a local LGBTQIA organisation.
The play directed by David Lester is supposed to be a ‘’microcosm’’ of 1970’s Australian society.

It plays at Wollongong Workshop Theatre’s premises at 194 Gipps Rd, Gwynneville from July 21 to August 5..
