What's On

My Intervention
 

Who needs therapy when you have showtunes?

Jacinta needs help. She has low-self esteem. Her behaviours are toxic. She’s… a mess. After far too long, she has taken matters into her own hands and is throwing her own intervention. Consider this your invitation. 

Featuring outlandish characters, comedy and drag, My Intervention is a one-act mini-musical exploring neuroses, ego and narcissism through a unique blend of stand-up, cabaret, and musical theatre. The genre-bending all-original score is the backdrop to Jacinta’s hilariously honest and gut-punching exploration of the human psyche. From reconciling queerness with a Catholic upbringing, to conjuring up a famous artist for support, to an essential boy-band sequence, join Jacinta as they not only face their demons, but serenades them too!

“Jacinta Gregory has proved once again that mental health can be a laughing matter, in the hands of someone who understands it” – Theatre Travels

“Gregory shows a promising future as a writer of Australian musicals and comedy” – Theatre Now

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
    Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
    Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
  • Anastasia – The Broadway Musical
    Anastasia – The Broadway Musical
    Anastasia is a spectacle and the technical prowess is spectacular.
  • Gutenberg! The Musical
    Gutenberg! The Musical
    As befitting a work honouring the inventor of the printing press, Gutenberg! The Musical! is enamoured of words, drunk on words, intoxicated with text, mad for the metaphor, passionate for the pun.

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

    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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
