Read MoreSexy and Delicious: BITE ME

Read MoreRevolution over Ruin: QUOKKA APOCALYPSE
QUOKKA APOCALYPSE is a fun, satirical, and thought provoking show that succeeds in depicting a much-needed, albeit fantastical, revolution. Cultural criticism at the heights of hilarity, it's an anthropomorphic joy to witness.

Read MoreLevity and Despair: Playthings
This is a show that will leave the audience stunned, feeling perhaps as unsettled as they are uplifted. What could have been a depressing exploration of childhood trauma is instead a powerful work that demonstrates the multi-faceted aspects of damage, despair and, inevitably, healing.
Read MoreFamily Fusion: SHARBAT
SHARBAT explores the relationship between three sisters—Shaz, Batty, and Roo—who each are attempting to make sense of their identities as Muslim Australians.
