25.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Shaka Cook, who has been announced as Hercules Mulligan and James Madison in the Australian production of Hamilton, coming to Sydney in 2021. Shaka joined us in 2017 to perform the title role of Jasper Jones in the riveting adaption of the similarly named novel by Craig Silvey. This is excellent news to kick off a week of NAIDOC celebrations. You can learn more about the exceptionally talented cast here: https://bit.ly/3eDdqxM #HamiltonAu #NAIDOCWeek

24.01.2022 Chookas to our cast, crew and creatives as they dust the sand off their shoes and prepare for tonight's opening of THE HOLIDAYS. We've loved the passion you've poured onto our stage and into this story. Playwright, David Megarrity says it best: "Though we've carefully arranged every grain of this work, soon THE HOLIDAYS will be over, washed away by waves of time we'll ride together memorably for a moment. It's good we got here." #QueenslandTheatre #QTTheHolidays #QPDA #Queens...landGovernment by Morgan Roberts

23.01.2022 In our latest podcast episode, Artistic Director Lee Lewis sat down with our Database Trainer and Supervisor Rory Killen. It was Rory who helped rebuild our ticketing system after our theatre closed in March to assist everyone with the cancellation, donation, credit and refund of your tickets. It’s the geekier side of a theatre company but, just like the rigging of a set, an essential element of putting on a show.
