Highlights on offer this year:

- Bite Size: brought to you by Ipan Theatre, this production features several delectable 10-minute plays brought to you by emerging female playwrights exploring the theme ‘Things are not what they seem’.
- The Day The Sky turned Black: fresh from acclaimed seasons at the Edinburgh, Adelaide and New York Fringe Festivals, Ali Kennedy Scott performs poignant stories of everyday heroes who fought the Black Saturday bushfires, one of Australia’s greatest natural disasters. Inspired by interviews with survivors, journalists and a global arson expert, these stories show the courage and strength of the human spirit when pitted against Mother Nature at her worst.
- The Dysfunctional Project: Swinging between the tragic and the comic, this is a new work exploring the psychological effects of male sexual dysfunction. This work reveals the vulnerabilities of masculinity as it travels between the experiences of 5 “broken men” in an entertaining and heartfelt journey brought to you by acclaimed physical theatre artist Paul Morrison.
