23.01.2022 When we first auditioned for Kinky Boots in January, we had no idea that our closing night would be in September, not the May that we'd originally planned. COVID knocked the entire entertainment industry on its head, but we managed to regroup and create a magical piece of theatre - opening the Price & Son factory to a world that needed to have live theatre back. We're extremely thankful that we were able to open our factory, let alone have completely sold out season - a testa...ment to the amazing hard work of our cast, crew, creatives & our amazing team of volunteers helping run the bar & Front of House. Thank you to all of our amazing audience members for embracing our COVID restriction procedures and cheering as loudly as our full houses! We came. We saw. We conquered. All whilst looking fabulous and in patent-leatherette stilettos. Good bye Northampton. You were good to us, and we will never forget our amazing 9 months in your presence.

20.01.2022 We think it's about time that we introduced our amazing Cast & Creatives for Be More Chill, playing October 30 - November 21. With 5 shows already sold out, it's going to be one heck of a season, and we couldn't do it without all of the time, effort and expertise our entire cast, crew & creatives have put in! https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

18.01.2022 Mr Reyes needs some help. And not in the "I-hate-teaching-high-schoolers-mediocre-drama" kind of way. His latest production of "A Midummer Night's Dream, with Zombies" needs some bar staff & FOH helpers, which co-incidentally happens on the same nights as our Be More Chill performances. Bar Staff & FOH staff are required at the theatre from 6.30pm and are usually done approximately 30 minutes after the show has ended. Full training is provided on site and you get to watch the... show for free - which is great if you forgot to get your tickets to this sold-out show! Dates required are: Friday 30th October (x2) Saturday 31st October (x2) and November 7 (x1) If you want to help, please either message us here or email Libby, our Front of House manager at [email protected]!

17.01.2022 "Phoenix Ensemble shows never disappoint and Kinky Boots is certainly up there with the best, thanks to possibly the strongest principal cast the company has ever assembled." Blue Curtains 'Kinky Boots' strutted its debut performance last night in our intimate tin shed after an 7 month rehearsal period. We're so thankful for the wonderful words Meredith Walker of Blue Curtains Brisbane: Stories From The Stalls had to say about our beautiful little show. https://bluecurtains...bris.wordpress.com//05/heels-and-feels/ ( CF Photography Families)

17.01.2022 Halloween came early to the Tin Shed for yesterday's amazing Sitzprobe rehearsal. The theme started as 'your ideal Squip', and when our cast realised that this was maybe easier-said-than-done, we ended up with an amazing amalgamation of Halloween Costumes - and we couldn't be more proud of them all! Most importantly, however, who doesn't need 2 Marios in their lives? Think you can do better? Show us on our special Halloween show on October 31!... https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

16.01.2022 *Jenna - sending a text* Did you know that Be More Chill opening and closing night are both sold out? . *Chloe - sending a tweet* Did you also know that three other shows are a few tickets from being sold?... * *Brooke - struggling with auto-correct* Sit you knit we open on there reels? . . . Sorry, that's just my auto-correct. Did you know we open in three weeks! . . . . https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=648541& See more

15.01.2022 It's time to get your own SQUIPs. Tickets to *Be More Chill* are now available. With each show capped to 50% capacity, due to our current COVID restrictions, don't delay! https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

12.01.2022 A brief announcement from Charlie Price - New Owner of Price & Sons. "As Charlie Price, new owner of Price and Son, I would like to take this time to make this formal statement. You have all worked so hard and to finally see the fruits of our efforts come to frui..fruition is something special. The coming weeks will no doubt make memories cherished. This video speech attached should truly speak for itself as it comes from the heart and soul of Price and Son. Yes George, I h...ave written them an email. No don't write that. Regards, Mr. Price"

12.01.2022 Meet Jeremy Heere, played by the amazing Christopher Batkin. Jeremy is just your average teenager. 2 parts awkward and 1 part loser, but this hasn't stopped him finding his way through high school alongside his best friend Michael. Jeremy is fully committed to his path in life. He is not destined for fame or fortune, or even to be popular. That is, until he meets his SQUIP, who turns his life around. But is it worth the price?... Be More Chill October 30 - November 21 https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX ------------------------ Music & Lyrics by Joe Iconis Book by Joe Tracz Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini Be More Chill is presented through special arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical on behalf of R&H Theatricals.

12.01.2022 Check out Be More Chill’s very own Mr Reyes do what he does best: take to the stage and introduce acts at Beenleigh Theatre Group Inc’s second Concert on the Couch!! We love you Stephen Morris (and Mike!!)

08.01.2022 EVERYBODY SAY YEAH! We were once again extremely lucky to have Laurene of CF Photography Families photograph our production of Kinky Boots. We're blown away by their talent and extreme generosity to our little tin shed theatre, and would encourage anyone looking for an amazing photoshoot experience to give Laurene or Stefan a call - they're truly 5 humans.... We can't wait to hit our final dress rehearsal tonight and show the world just how Kinky Beenleigh can be!

08.01.2022 Introducing Ellen Axford, who may play 'beta' Brooke, but is anything but a shrinking violet - just ask her to go to Pinkberry and she'll show you her leading lady talent. We only have 28 tickets left for our season of Be More Chill - opening October 30, so if you don't want to miss out, snag them today whilst you can! https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

07.01.2022 There’s no denying that the arts and all of its workers, supporters and participants have been heavily affected financially by COVID-19. However, we don’t talk enough about the mental impact this pandemic has had our our already fragile community. It’s a simple question - R U OK?, but one that could save lives. We proudly support R U OK day and actively encourage all of our family and friends to reach out.

07.01.2022 Introducing the Queen Bee herself - Chloe Valentine, played by the outrageously talented Taylah Mclennan. Think Regina George. But, well, even more unlikable and you get this wonderfully manipulative character, destined to break every guy's heart in Middleborough High School. Opening on Friday, we can't wait to have audiences experience the kooky, wacky musical that is Be More Chill!

06.01.2022 We're so excited to have our first Dress run tonight. It's been quite the journey, but the guys and gals of 'Price & Sons' factory are raring to go and can't wait to Raise You Up soon! . . Phoenix Ensemble is committed to the health and safety of everyone in our theatre and are operating under Government Mandated COVID-19 guidelines.

06.01.2022 We are so thankful to have @aerlyn designing and plotting our lights for #BeMoreChill. Our theatre has never looked more vibrant!

06.01.2022 Check back tomorrow - 11am - for a special announcement.

05.01.2022 We're adding another two shows to our 'SOLD OUT' list, and with only 75 tickets left for the whole season, we're not sure how long they're going to last. . You don't want to miss Adam Goodall's unbelievable performance as Rich Goranski, screaming the icon line: "IT'S FROM JAPANNNNNNNN"! It's 100% epic. . https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

05.01.2022 It's from Japan. It's a grey oblong pill. Get involved - https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

04.01.2022 Who else is ready to JUMP into the weekend? . From the moment that Juliette Ebert burst into the audition room, we knew she was our Christine. With her infectiously positive personality, her top drawer voice and her cool-as dance moves, Juliette gives so much life to the kooky-character of Christine, and she's worth the ticket price alone! . https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX... BE MORE CHILL October 30 - November 21 4 Shows Practically sold out! See more

04.01.2022 We had our Photoshoot last night and we can’t wait to share the final shots. But in the mean time, enjoy our passing of the backpack! https://www.trybooking.com/BKXJX

03.01.2022 How did these auditions come around so fast? We can't wait to welcome all of our amazing auditionees to the Tin Shed, but if you were umm-ing and ahh-ing about auditioning, now is the time to grab the bull by the horns and do it. We've got just a handful of audition slots left for tomorrow's auditions and we would love to see you there. So don't delay, head to https://phoenixensemble.com.au/audition and book your slot tomorrow night.... If you're good, we might even give you a golden ticket to join our show ;)
