24.01.2022 Its been 5 days since our final night of the boy my father raised and an appreciation post is long over due. Lets star from the beginning. 6 months ago.

Theres no reason why I shouldnt be able to, seems pretty easy, pretty straight forwards, wed have heaps of support, what could go wrong? So I created a logo and a Facebook page, because in my mind thats all you really needed to do to have you...Continue reading
24.01.2022 Chris- Isaac Troisi Chris has had a lot of life experience. Serving in the army at a young age he learnt a lot about the struggles of life and the human psyche. After leaving the army he fell into a deep depression and turned to alcohol. Having no direction in his own life he has turned to take it out on his wife Gwen and his own child Taylor.

21.01.2022 Its super amazing to have the support of the Zahra Foundation Australia and Arman Abrahimzadeh in doing the show. At the end of the day, this show is to spread awareness and start conversations around domestic and family violence, having their support literally means SO much to us and we are really looking forwards to sharing this journey with them.
20.01.2022 Taylor- played by Jacob Roneberg. The boy my father raised is Taylors story. Growing up in a household clouded by domestic violence it is all he knows. Taylor is going through high school, struggling with the man hes becoming, but not sure how to change him self and become a better person. Will he choose his father or his future? 14+, violent themes, strong domestic violence triggers.
19.01.2022 August Stone Theatre Company did an excellent job of showing domestic violence for what it is; an all-consuming cycle that children become trapped in once exposed to it, but one that they can also break out of in their debut play The Boy My Father Raised.

19.01.2022 Would you guys be interested in extending the dates for the show? Sometime in March?
19.01.2022 Feeling super blessed to have been able to speak on ABC Adelaide this evening. Everybody at the studio was literally SO nice, and it was just amazing to speak a little bit about the company, Yorkes, and the show. If you havnt got your tickets yet please do so. We want to perform this show to full houses. Feeling super proud of all the cast and we cant wait to show you guys The Boy My Father Raised xx
18.01.2022 The guys at the @adelaidefestival 60 years Gala. Super amazing to have the opportunity to go to events like this and meet so many inspirational amazing people.
18.01.2022 So guys its official now. Venue is confirmed, registration is payed for, dates and times have been decided, the boy my father raised is officially apart of the Adelaide fringe 2020.
18.01.2022 Cassie- played by Tabitha McLean - Cassie is Taylors girlfriend who is quite a bubbly, outgoing person. She really enjoys reading about heroes in books and hopes one day that she can be one. She believes she could be the hero in Taylors life and help him. CONTENT WARNING: deals with domestic violence, violence, alcoholism and other very confronting subjects. Suitable for 14+
17.01.2022 Ok so tune your radios to 891 @abcadelaide Thursday night because guess who is gunna be having a chat to ol mate Peter Goers. but in all honesty, legendary opportunity. Gunna be talking about how the company was started and what to expect at the fringe. Tune in xx
16.01.2022 Augusts new show is well and truly on the way. Venues are yet to be confirmed but you can expect The Boy My Father Raised to be showing in the fringe next year. Taylors earliest memory is that of his mother lying cold on the ground, his father standing over them. He, like many other Australian children, has grown up in a household clouded with domestic violence and addiction. Addiction to alcohol, addiction to self-pity and addiction to second chances. Evidence proves that ...those who grow up in an abusive household are more likely to be abusive themselves, but why and how? As Taylor tumbles through his schooling life, he struggles to find himself, weighed down by the troubles of his home life that constantly rests in his mind. The Boy My Father Raised shows the battle between what is known and what is wanted. It chronicles the struggles of finding yourself and survival when all the odds are against you. Will Taylor be able to break the stereotype and prove that we are not what we are destined for? Or will he become just another statistic, another forgotten boy, in the so called tragic stories of modern Australia. See more

13.01.2022 super amazing to have @armani.zadeh come to our rehearsal on Wednesday! In early 2019 we heard about Armans story and it was ultimately the inspiration behind The Boy My Father Raised.
