It’s a dynamic\, inventive performance — a game of eye spy on stage\, where everyday items are transformed through the communal magic of suspended disbelief. \nA solo puppeteer spins a fable for children. We hear a story of people who get rid of time: no night\, no day. This creates a flood\, devastating the land. But when two disaster recovery workers suddenly burst into the theatre\, fiction becomes fact and a new story demands to be told. \nGoldfish is a ground-breaking collaboration between celebrated Tasmanian puppetry company Terrapin and Japan’s Aichi Prefectural Art Theater\, with performers from Australia and Japan. The show does not travel with a set. Instead\, a new set is made for each season using the materials of disaster recovery unique to each place. These materials are then donated to key organisations working in disaster management.

Best described as a ‘Cheers! Musical written in the style of Come From Away’. \nFresno sets itself in a traditional Irish-American bar\, that explores the life of a young bartender named JJ\, and the network of friends\, bar regulars and found family that surround him. \nIt also tackles many issues faced by young people in society today such as: the cost of living crisis; alcoholism; and the affects of gentrification. It is based in Fresno\, California but written with a distinctly Australian humour which undercuts the idealisations of the American Dream and reinforces the Aussie love for an underdog. \nThe music ‘has been written with a classic musical theatre feel\, reminiscent of old school story driver songs rather than the clunky interludes shoehorned in that do little for the narrative’. \nAfter a resounding success for it’s ‘In Concert’ development showing at The Butterfly Club in March 2024\, Fresno is having its official debut at Chapel Off Chapel in February 2025. \nPresented by J.M Harland & J.

His expressive and sensual choreography thrilled some and shocked others\, even inciting riots in Parisian theatres. \nTragically\, Nijinsky’s brilliance was overshadowed by his battle with schizophrenia\, leading him to spend much of his later life in treatment facilities. His final public performance in 1919\, held in a Swiss hotel\, was a haunting expression of his turbulent emotions. \nRenowned narrative ballet choreographer John Neumeier delves into Nijinsky’s final moments on stage\, vividly tracing the journey of a genius—from his rise to fame to his personal struggles. The production explores his complex family life\, doomed relationships\, and the unforgettable performances that cemented his legacy. \nBlurring the lines between biography and spectacle\, Nijinsky provides The Australian Ballet’s male dancers with the opportunity to embody his distinctive style. Set against the dazzling backdrop of early 20th-century Paris\, the production’s lavish sets and costumes transport audiences into a world of artistic brilliance. \nA breathtaking theatrical experience\, Nijinsky is a powerful homage to the dancer and choreographer who forever transformed the world of ballet. \nTouring\nMelbourne 21 Feb – 1 March 2025 Reagent Theatre\nSydney 2-22 April 2025.

Fueled by top-shelf alcohol and years of simmering tension\, a seemingly harmless drinking game reveals the power struggles\, resentments\, and fears lurking beneath their friendships. And that’s just the beginning. \nBeneath the laughter\, flirtation\, and casual banter lies a bubbling mix of money\, sex\, race\, and class—served up with biting wit. Never Have I Ever is sharp\, shocking\, and a testament to just how volatile personal politics can be.

DESCRIPTION:Fledermaus! is a story of revenge\, infidelity\, disguises\, and imprisonment decorated by Strauss’s splendid waltzes. With its glorious music\, wonderful singing\, and a charming and witty libretto\, GSOV offers two opportunities to see this joyful work of genius. The first is in the beautiful shady garden setting of The Knowe\, an historic cottage in Sassafras. Tickets are strictly limited and this summer presentation always sells out quickly. The second is the recently refurbished\, The Round Studio. \nA Viennese gentleman\, Gabriel von Eisenstein\, who should be heading to prison for whacking a policeman and calling him a “dummkof”\, ends up going to a grand party at the villa of the Russian Prince Orlovsky! \nHowever\, von Eisenstein has been lured into a trap concocted by Dr Falke\, his once rival for the heart of Rosalinda. Meanwhile\, believing her husband von Eisenstein is imprisoned\, Rosalinda has agreed to Dr Falke’s invitation to attend the same party disguised as an Hungarian Countess! Falke’s aim is simple: revenge and to enjoy von Eisenstein’s embarrassment. \nBut it seems that even further mischief is afoot as Adele\, the von Eisenstein’s maid\, also attends the party in Rosalinda’s best dress! Inevitably\, too much champagne is consumed resulting in a hilarious mixture of disguises and wrongdoings. However\, through the splendid magic of operetta\, all ends happily! \nFledermaus! will be presented in costume with accompaniment from a quartet of players in the delightful garden of the historical The Knowe\, Sassafras\, as well as the Studio at The Round.
