Biology is the comedy chemistry in The Stevenson Experience. Aussie identical twins Benjamin and James Stevenson sass and banter their show into an ideal blend of structured storyline mixed with natural improvisation.

The audience gasps as their eyes react to the onslaught and giggle a little while they wait for something to happen.
The Weight of Light is a richly crafted local production with universal themes of grief, despair, hope and fear. A range of original songs with intense vocals explain the journey of a soldier’s return home to confront his past and future.
The Q Theatre in Queanbeyan, with its wide proscenium, compact seating and good sound quality, was home to one of Broadway's most popular musicals, Guys and Dolls.
With a title like that, you would expect exactly what the audience saw, heard and so obviously enjoyed from the six performers in this lively, humorous and beautiful show.
It begins with licking elbows and ends with contemplation. Constellations is a comedy-drama-romance with scientific and philosophical threads that pull together in a relatable format.
Cyrano de Bergerac – it’s a long one indeed. That is, the famous nose and the Sport for Jove’s production itself. Time flies however, with modern updates to the classic tale and lively characters who ensnare attention.

Jekyll and Hyde
Anthony Warlow could sing binary code and it would be a delight but the man deserves as much praise for being a profoundly good character actor as he does for the joy of his voice.
Ragtime | The Production Company
As its final show in our gorgeous State Theatre, The Production Company offers Melbourne a truly wonderful and benevolent parting gift in Ragtime.
Thigh Gap | La Mama
If you’ve ever wondered what women really do behind closed doors, then look no further than Thigh Gap. Jamaica Zuanetti’s absurdist comedy is an uncomfortably relatable production, in which two 20 something women reveal all the “secret women’s business” the ladies have been concealing.
White Pearl | National Theatre of Parramatta/Sydney Theatre Company
For a first play this is not short on ambition, tackling not only racism from an underrepresented angle, but also classism, misogyny, cultural specificity in a globalised marketplace, corporate culture, and the currency of outrage in the social media age.
The Glad Tomorrow | Katie Noonan and the Australian String Quartet
For those of us who were there, down to every man, woman and child, this was a performance that will linger long into our lives.
