‘The Mentor’ was nurturing.

The creative interplay of experience and originality is ingrained into Bravo Arts’ new production ‘The Mentor’, both on and offstage.

‘Untitled Relationship Experiment’ was unhinged.

Have you ever wondered what craziness happens behind closed doors? ‘Untitled Relationship Experiment’ highlights the unspoken conversations behind Queer relationships in one of the most hilariously constructed productions of the Brisbane Improv Festival.

‘Never Before Musical’ was energetic.

Ho Hum brought their A-Game back to this year’s Brisbane Improv Festival, hosted at Big Fork Theatre in Fortitude Valley. After a fantastic 2021 production, the critically acclaimed ‘Never Before Musical’ returned for its second year.

‘And Then There Were None’ was suspenseful.

Heading to the show last night, we had a fair idea of what we were getting into, and Nash delivered to our expectations: a solid, old-school, suspenseful ‘whodunnit’ murder-mystery classic from the Queen of the genre herself, performed earnestly by passionate volunteers.

‘Brisbane Improv Festival’ was raucous. Brisbane Improv Festival’s Sunday night program had its audience in stitches, and the calibre of performers on display was impeccable.

‘GODZ’ was arresting.

‘GODZ’ from Head First Acrobats is playing at Wynnum Fringe after being a hit at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Fringe and Perth Fringe. ‘GODZ’ has arrived in Brisbane bringing their mixture of storytelling, circus and physical theatre to Wynnum, and poking fun at organised religion and hetero-normative masculinity along the way.

‘First Casualty’ was potent.

Artistic Director Lee Lewis leads an emboldened and dexterous cast in ‘First Casualty’. The actors portray the diverse, dedicated and disheartened serving soldiers, who fuse as a pack to tell Christopher Johnston’s harrowing stories from his memories as a soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan.

‘Adrift’ was intricate.

‘Adrift’ from Counterpilot was a compelling, intricate, and technological piece; a mechanically-immense and impressive work.

‘Islander: A New Musical’ was Fisherfolk-tastic. Audiences will be enchanted by the modern Scottish folktale that is ‘Islander: A New Musical’, a story impressively told through the voices of actors who record and mix their songs using looping technology – live on stage.

‘Grease’ was slick.

Spotlight Theatrical Company is keen to let everyone know that ‘Grease’ is the word in their bold, new interpretation of the classic hit musical!
