What's On

Holly Rowan

You are welcomed to gather in a wise old forest to explore non-binary belonging, as part of Midsumma Festival 2025. Inspired by Trans Ecology, this epic ensemble journey is framed within the Druid seasons. Let us enchant you with our original folk music, live-mixed animation and assemblage of clown characters. You will laugh, cry and identify as we uproot the gender-binary, with child-like play. This is queer theatre that doesn’t take sides but seeks unity. From the roots to the leaves - from our heads to our toes, we diversify perspectives through the unwavering force of humour, vulnerability and love.

Holly Rowan has previously performed a solo version of My Queer Spiritual Entropy in Melbourne Fringe 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024. Their one-human show has now flourished into an exciting ecosystem of collaborations, with fellow non-binary artists in Melbourne. The new imagining takes on a richer sensory tapestry, more transformative than ever. Live-streamed shows will be available to watch online from home.

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.
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.
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.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.

MJ the Musical
MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.
Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
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.
