SUMMARY:Scrag X CANCELLED X
DESCRIPTION:A writer sits at her desk…procrastinating. She’s trying to write a script\, or maybe it’s a screenplay? A book? An unhinged text message to her Dramaturg? \nEnter Scrag\, her main character—loud\, unpredictable and a work in progress. She’s not afraid to bite the hand that writes her. What begins as a light hearted romp through childhood space-themed fairy parties\, job loss and (not) alien smut—quickly unravels. The Dramaturg questions the structure\, especially the Sci-Fi elements (it’s not smut!) and the Writer refuses to delve into a scene she’s too afraid to face. \nA party. A brightly lit kitchen. A Dude-Bro. \nScrag pushes the Writer to confront a sexual assault and explore the line between humour and catharsis\, the chaos of healing and the failures of our justice system. The Writer discovers that storytelling isn’t just about shaping narratives—it’s about facing yourself. \nBut\, like\, totally in a fun way. \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show after 10 minutes which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Sexual References\, Sexual violence\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available

SUMMARY:Vinyl Stories: an exploration of sound waves through storytelling and song
DESCRIPTION:Vinyl Stories explores the stories\, interpretations and musical forces that shaped the lives of 3 people of the Territory.\n \nEach performer will select songs on vinyl record that impacted them earlier in life and will share what this meant to them and their story. We will share a listening space with music from vinyl records. \nMelanie Mununggurr is a Djapu mother\, poet\, storyteller and performer\, and the Australian Poetry Slam Champion for her 2018 poem ‘I Run’. \nShalom Kaa is a performer\, director\, singer\, and comedian with roots in a large Māori musical family. \nJohn Rawnsley grew up and has lived between the Centre and Top End of the Territory for his life and will draw on these experiences with a vinyl set as DJ Spinaf-X. \nThe show is for people who appreciate music but also appreciate the deeper forces and interactions that voice\, listening\, hearing\, living and being serves. It will be an appreciation of the connection between the sound waves that a particular song projects and the broader context and worlds we interact. \nImmerse yourself in sensory experiences through story-telling and personal reflection; the sharing of an intimate space and to be present as we share in a collective appreciation and personal insight of a select curation of records. \nWithin each of us is a story and narrative that threads songs\, time and space.\n \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: mention of death and loss \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:SMOKO
DESCRIPTION:High-vis glamour meets outback grit in this whip-smart\, queer comedy about landfill life\, self-worth\, and the rubbish we carry (inside and out). Join Beccy— outback landfill worker\, hopeless romantic\, and high-vis icon—as she dives headfirst into the filth to find meaning among the mess. With a hapless dating history and a gnawing sense of internal emptiness\, Beccy descends into the depths of the dump and into herself to explore what happens when we begin to feel like the disposable items that have infiltrated our modern lives.\nSMOKO\, directed by Betty Sweetlove and Ruby Conolan Barrett\, is a hilarious\, heartfelt exploration of how we treat each other—and ourselves—in a world obsessed with stuff. Jasmine Story’s sharp writing and fearless performance promise a night of laughter\, realness\, and maybe a little catharsis. \n\n‘Rich in symbolism and pulling every theatre trick out of their dump truck\, it’s a holistic reminder of theatre’s capability to transport you to another world without being limited by the size of the room. This show will make you laugh and wonder why you don’t get to the theatre more often.’ – Jay Darroch\, Magazine6000\, Perth. \n‘A unique concept that draws light on mental health issues\, queer exploration and sexism while also celebrating the unpolished Aussie lifestyle’ – Glam Adelaide. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Illicit drug use\, Sexual References\, Smoke or haze\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Take Every Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Take Every Liberty is a command. It’s playwright Morgan Rose’s famous stage direction\, appearing at the start of her plays\, daring performers to push\, pull and provoke. \nThis one-hour playreading from Corrugated Iron’s Company C brings three short works by Morgan Rose. Darkly funny\, razor-sharp\, and a little unhinged. Her words are absurd\, unpredictable\, and refuse to land neatly. \nCompany C acting ensemble interrogates Rose’s theatrical language\, creating an eclectic collision of text\, performance\, and flashes of circus. Stripped back but bursting with energy\, it’s immediate\, messy\, and gloriously alive. \nUnpredictable\, biting\, and a little feral\, Take Every Liberty is what happens when young artists take on work that refuses to behave and  have fun in the process of meeting it head on. \n1 hour | Browns Mart\nSuitable 13+ | Strong themes and language \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n  \nDuration: 1 hour \nRecommended for ages: 13+\, audiences aged 12 and younger will require adult supervision \nContent warnings: Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:SMOKO
DESCRIPTION:High-vis glamour meets outback grit in this whip-smart\, queer comedy about landfill life\, self-worth\, and the rubbish we carry (inside and out). Join Beccy— outback landfill worker\, hopeless romantic\, and high-vis icon—as she dives headfirst into the filth to find meaning among the mess. With a hapless dating history and a gnawing sense of internal emptiness\, Beccy descends into the depths of the dump and into herself to explore what happens when we begin to feel like the disposable items that have infiltrated our modern lives.\nSMOKO\, directed by Betty Sweetlove and Ruby Conolan Barrett\, is a hilarious\, heartfelt exploration of how we treat each other—and ourselves—in a world obsessed with stuff. Jasmine Story’s sharp writing and fearless performance promise a night of laughter\, realness\, and maybe a little catharsis. \n\n‘Rich in symbolism and pulling every theatre trick out of their dump truck\, it’s a holistic reminder of theatre’s capability to transport you to another world without being limited by the size of the room. This show will make you laugh and wonder why you don’t get to the theatre more often.’ – Jay Darroch\, Magazine6000\, Perth. \n‘A unique concept that draws light on mental health issues\, queer exploration and sexism while also celebrating the unpolished Aussie lifestyle’ – Glam Adelaide. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Illicit drug use\, Sexual References\, Smoke or haze\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Jatbula ~ 70% SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:A group of hikers take on the iconic Jatbula Trail. As the hours and days pass\, familiar rhythms take over and small tensions flicker beneath the surface. Old friends and new learn more about each other – and themselves – than perhaps they ever cared to. \nAnd when one of them goes missing\, what follows is not a search so much as a slow unravelling — of certainty\, of friendship\, of the quiet assumptions they’ve carried with them. In a landscape that offers no clear edges and no easy answers\, the group is left to reckon with what they know\, what they’ve missed\, and what they may never understand. \nA meditation on friendship\, solitude and loss\, Jatbula is a story about the limits of knowing – and the uneasy space between finding yourself and losing your way. \nThis is a new work written by local artist Hugh Bond and produced by Hugh Bond and Simon Pickering aka Distant Cousin Productions. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Death\, Examples of/ references to ageism\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Illicit drug use\, Mental illness\, Strong Language\, Suicide and/or self harm \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Vinyl Stories: an exploration of sound waves through storytelling and song
DESCRIPTION:Vinyl Stories explores the stories\, interpretations and musical forces that shaped the lives of 3 people of the Territory.\n \nEach performer will select songs on vinyl record that impacted them earlier in life and will share what this meant to them and their story. We will share a listening space with music from vinyl records. \nMelanie Mununggurr is a Djapu mother\, poet\, storyteller and performer\, and the Australian Poetry Slam Champion for her 2018 poem ‘I Run’. \nShalom Kaa is a performer\, director\, singer\, and comedian with roots in a large Māori musical family. \nJohn Rawnsley grew up and has lived between the Centre and Top End of the Territory for his life and will draw on these experiences with a vinyl set as DJ Spinaf-X. \nThe show is for people who appreciate music but also appreciate the deeper forces and interactions that voice\, listening\, hearing\, living and being serves. It will be an appreciation of the connection between the sound waves that a particular song projects and the broader context and worlds we interact. \nImmerse yourself in sensory experiences through story-telling and personal reflection; the sharing of an intimate space and to be present as we share in a collective appreciation and personal insight of a select curation of records. \nWithin each of us is a story and narrative that threads songs\, time and space.\n \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: mention of death and loss \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
