Presented by Brisbane Arts Theatre
Theatre Performance

Two couples face off and fall out in the critically-acclaimed ‘Reasons to be Pretty’, a fresh and illuminating insight into how we value female beauty in modern society.

Greg and Stephanie have been together for some time when Greg has a slip of the tongue that pushes Stephanie to the edge. Their familiar struggles of wanting to be loved and wanting to understand each other are at the bedrock of this searing comedy.

Anyone who’s ever written a letter to an ex, felt ugly or generally wanted lover’s revenge will be delighted by ‘Reasons to be Pretty’ — a frank, honest and confronting contemporary story.

Event Details

Presented by Gold Coast Little Theatre
Musical Theatre Performance

Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Pugsley, Grandmama and Lurch are the Addams family. Dark, gothic, with a slightly twisted viewpoint, this is a VERY funny musical you don’t want to miss!

‘The Addams Family’ features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on a fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.

Event Details

Presented by Brisbane Arts Theatre
Theatre Performance

From the world-famous Discworld and Sir Terry Pratchett, ‘Maskerade’ sees the return of Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, the Discworld’s greatest witches, who attend an innocent night at the opera.

The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is a huge, rambling building, where masked figures and hooded shadows perform wicked deeds in the wings, where dying on stage is a little bit more than just a metaphor. There is going to be trouble, and the witches are on hand to save the day.

Now 21 years’ strong, our annual tradition of bringing Discworld to Brisbane continues with ‘Maskerade’. Brought to life with the expertise of our Pratchett team, it is an excellent introduction to this incredible fantasy realm.

Event Details

Presented by New Farm Nash Theatre
Theatre Performance

Meet Ben. Ben is a 26-year-old investment banker. Ben likes beer, sports and Emily… and Chris.

A provocative, highly-involving play, brimming with clever wisecracks and some thought-provoking observations on sexual identity, ‘Straight’ very much reflects our 21st-century world and the conflicts, confusion and choices of a man struggling with his sexuality.

Funny, sad, sexy and surprising, ‘Straight’ is a three-character drama that deals with fidelity, identity and the moral complexity of a generation that prides itself on the pretence of acceptance. The show raises a lot of questions about labels in today’s society, yet it also addresses denial, and with a last-minute plot twist, it’s safe to say expect the unexpected.

Presented by Ipswich Little Theatre
Theatre Performance

They wished for a star…then wished they hadn’t.

Jefferson, an ageing out of work, Hollywood action hero, is desperate to revive his flagging career. When he arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford he believes he has landed the role of a lifetime … only to discover he has committed to star as King Lear for a dramatic society in Stratford St. John, a sleepy English village in Suffolk.

Instead of performing with Kenneth Branagh and Dame Judy Dench, Jefferson’s monstrous ego (and insecurity) is tested to the limit by this enthusiastic group of amateurs. As acting worlds collide and his career implodes, he discovers some home truths about himself!

‘A Bunch of Amateurs’ is a comedic clash of cultures packed with laugh-a-minute dialogue and plenty of twists and turns ensue in this hilarious and ultimately moving British comedy.

Event Details

Presented by Logan Entertainment Centre, A Little Red Company and Critical Stages Production
Music Performance

From the creators of celebrated Australian works, ‘Rumour Has It’ and ‘Wrecking Ball’ comes the must-see live music event of the year: ‘Lady Beatle’ – a kaleidoscopic journey through The Beatles’ most monumental hits.

Starring UK-born Australian stage and screen star Naomi Price (‘Beautiful: The Carole King Musical’, ‘Rumour Has It’, ‘Ladies In Black’, ‘The Voice Australia’) and inspired by true accounts, ‘Lady Beatle’ is a rollicking magical mystery tour soundtracked by The Beatles’ biggest chart-toppers, including “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”, “Eleanor Rigby”, “Yellow Submarine” and “Penny Lane”.

Flanked by a live band, Price transports audiences to 1960’s Liverpool, taking the audience along for the ride as she riffs off the cuff, invites them to join in the big numbers, and ultimately has them on their feet for the show’s epic mega-mix finale dance party.

‘Lady Beatle’ proved a runaway hit when it premiered at La Boite Theatre Company in 2017, drawing capacity audiences and standing ovations at each performance and unanimous critical and audience acclaim. It epitomises The Little Red Company’s unmistakable brand of cabaret: tremendous heart and charm, world-class musicianship, seamless audience interaction, striking design and a triumphant central performance from Naomi Price.

One football club, one family and one unforgettable NRL Grand Final!

Where were you the night of the 2015 NRL Grand Final? The night when long-time underdogs the North Queensland Cowboys won in an all-QLD nail-biter that changed the game, and the state, forever. For one family of Cowboys diehards, their whole lives have led up to this moment. Jess was born on the night of the North Queensland Cowboys’ first game in Townsville. Daughter of Foley Shield legend Frank ‘Black Flash’ Wright, she grew up as a footy fanatic with big dreams, silky skills and boundless ambition to play. But as a girl in a male-dominated sport, she faces more than her fair share of knockbacks, just like the luckless Cowboys. Despite their relentless string of losses, Jess still dares to believe in her team and herself.

Queensland Theatre joins forces with debase productions and JUTE Theatre Company in Cairns to bring this iconically Queensland story to audiences of Logan.

‘The Longest Minute’ is written by Robert Kronk and Nadine McDonald-Dowd, and directed by Bridget Boyle.

Warning: this production contains strong coarse language, haze and strobe.

When his younger sister, Stacy, wants to check out the rave scene, Ben knows he’ll have to watch out for her. And tonight she’s going to drop her first ecstasy pill. Later, as Ben struggles to forgive himself, his mother retreats into the Church. But the time will come when both must face the truth about what really happened that night.

Set in the 90s, but with timeless themes and life lessons, ‘X-Stacy’ is an important experience for young people, as well as their parents and families alike. Past audiences continue to comment on the relevance and necessity of this theatrical experience in today’s world. ‘X-Stacy’ is a play about the struggles of adolescence, the challenges of life and the need for love and family. Written by Queensland playwright, Margery Forde, the play is returning to the Brisbane stage this September, over 20 years since it was first performed at La Boite Theatre.

Presented by Queensland Theatre
Theatre Performance

In this lyrical adaptation of Sophocles’ timeless tragedy, award-winning Brisbane playwright Merlynn Tong adds an urgent modern twist to ‘Antigone’, reuniting Christen O’Leary and Jessica Tovey after their triumphant pairing in ‘Twelfth Night’.

A great city has been torn apart by a civil war between two brothers. In the aftermath, both lie dead – one hailed as a hero and lying in state, the other condemned as a traitor and dumped in a carrion pile. From the ashes of their conflict rises a dystopian state under a new leader – a career politician who rose to power by dint of her ruthlessness. Grieving and heartbroken, their sister Antigone challenges the leader for the right to bury and mourn her dead brother with dignity, sparking a furious act of rebellion that will shake the city to its foundations.

‘The Beast’ is a modern-day satire that will tear your notions of morality to shreds, hilariously lampooning urban culture, organic lifestyles and infidelity.

After surviving a near-death experience, a group of close friends wipe the slate clean and embrace a tree change, living a sustainable life in the country. But nature isn’t always so welcoming, and when the friends are faced with slaughtering their own food, the floodgates open on some ugly and shocking truths.

With decorum collapsing like a house of cards, ‘The Beast’ is a breath of fresh disgusting air, from one of Australia’s greatest comedy writers.
