What's On

HOSPO
 

HOSPO is the explosive debut play that everyone in the industry will feel in their bones.

Thrown back to 2020, Tierra’s bistro has barely survived lockdown, but with restrictions finally lifted, she’s reopening her doors for a night of dining, dancing, and rock ’n’ roll. What should be a triumphant return quickly spirals when the understaffed team discover their event has been double-booked with a private function. Personalities clash, tensions simmer, and secrets bubble to the surface.
Bottlenecked into a single Saturday shift, this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud tragicomedy shatters the cold pour to reveal the heat underneath — exposing grief, power games, and the wild, messy relationships building with every ding of the service bell — but will the night hold together, or collapse under the weight of a mismanaged roster?

Whether you worked the shift from hell, can't afford to eat out, or always chill at your local - be our patron as you're swept into the world of HOSPO. Complete with a live band and a cast of unforgettably relatable characters, HOSPO is a love letter to all the people who keep the wheels turning — and the ones who grind the gears.

Fiercely original. Raw, ridiculous, and real.
This is Sydney indie theatre at its freshest.
It’s not just about hospitality — it’s about holding it together when you’re falling apart.
Join us for a night that hits close to home.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
