On The Javeenbah Stage
BLANK
12 April 2025
Produced by Jake Goodall
In a joint effort between audience and performer, the gaps in the script are filled in to reveal a story that celebrates the human imagination. As formally inventive as it is engaging, Blank reverses the typical theatre experience: A script riddled with blanks leaves the audience in charge of how the story will unfold. The concept might be simple, the result is nothing short of empowering as a random audience member sees his or her future determined by the imagination of others.

Thursday’s Child
10 – 24 May, 2025
Directed by Hunter Wall & Chloe Smith
Thursday’s Child is Tin, born on a Thursday and like the old nursery rhyme, has far to go. A strange and lonely child who digs, his wanderings take him underneath the earth into the subterranean tunnels that he’s pre-destined to roam. Told by his sister Harper Flute, it is a story of an Australian farming family’s strength as they battle their way through the great depression of the 1930s. A surreal and epic piece of theatre that explores the themes of memory, fate, family camaraderie and the spirit of determination in a time of great change.

Five actors play over 40 roles in this brand new adventure that has danger—and laughter!—around every corner.
