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.

    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.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    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.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
