What's On

George Rigden - Self-Inflicted
 

In 2020, George Rigden was roundly (and rightly) cancelled, and his life fell apart. In 2025, he was finally diagnosed with autism, finally sobered up - and began to put his life back together.

Now, more than half a decade on from his life falling apart, he’s finally stable (and sober) enough to talk about it.

An interactive musical comedy show about attempted redemption, coming to understand yourself & self-improvement, while also staying true to yourself.

A hilarious, heart-wrenching musical romp through the life of someone who’s been to hell and back through their own self-destructibe tendencies, and lived to tell the tale. (Its funnier than it sounds. A lot funnier.)

    MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.

    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.

    West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
    At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.

    Stage Kiss | New Theatre
    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
