What's On

The Heartbreak Choir
 

Ensemble Theatre is presenting Aidan Fennessy’s The Heartbreak Choir, a joyous love song to community and friendship, from 29th November 2024 – 12th January 2025.

Audience favourites Valerie Bader (Suddenly Last Summer), Nancy Denis (Clyde’s), and Jay Laga’aia (TV’s Play School) unite with director Anna Ledwich (Photograph 51) to celebrate connection, hope, and the healing power of music.

Trouble is afoot in the old CFA hall on the outskirts of town. When a fracture forms in the local choir, a small band of community misfits are pushed out into the cold. The only thing left to do? Rebrand! They’ve formed a new group, got a cracking new name and the town’s winery is all set for their debut performance. Now, if only they can find the perfect song to really bring the house down…

Additional cast members include Tyallah Bullock (Malthouse Theatre’s Macbeth An Undoing), and Carita Farrer Spencer (NICA’s Famous), alongside Jasper Lee Lindsay (Belvoir’s Blessed Union), and Georgina Symes (Killing Katie: Confessions Of A Book Club). 

Don't miss this joyous conclusion to Ensemble’s 2024 Season.

    The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight
    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

    The Book of Mormon
     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show. 
  • A Mirror | Belvoir
    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    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.
