The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals

Everything in Hatchetfield seemed normal until people began singing… Then, they began dancing… And now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future.

Next Up

Letters To Lindy

14-16 March 2025

Directed by Laura Starre

The court case captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim – that the baby was taken by a dingo – denied and discredited by zealous police and a flawed legal system. The media circus, the rumours, the nation’s prejudices laid bare. And in the eye of the storm: Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton. Letters to Lindy draws on this correspondence and interviews with Lindy herself. It is an enthralling, revealing, and long overdue dialogue between Lindy and the nation; a portrait of the wisdom and resilience of a grieving mother.

Upcoming Auditions

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.
