On The Javeenbah Stage
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.

The Bed Party
20-22 June 2025
Directed by Jake Goodall
In a disarrayed bedroom, five women navigate the complexities of their lives, from comforting a housemate after a traumatic date to celebrating new romantic possibilities. As stories unfold, the bonds between these fiercely loyal, loving, and radically honest women are tested and strengthened. With wit, warmth, and unwavering support, they tackle life’s highs and lows, proving that in the end, all you need is the comfort of friends by your side.
