More Than A Game
The Unautorised Footy Show Musical

Saturday Feb 19th @ 6pm & 8pm
Friday March 4th @ 7pm & 9pm
Saturday March 5th @ 6pm & 8pm

★★★★★ "An unforgettable and wildly hilarious production" On The Record

"One of the most imaginative Fringe shows", a raucous and cheeky take on the out of touch men once famous for their footy heroics. Using a very special episode of The Footy Show where Billy Brownless is forced to confront his feelings about the relationship between his ex-wife and his best mate Garry Lyon, MTAG follows Billy as he flashes through his past to understand his broken relationships.

"Applying a musical theatre lens to a football scandal is an unconventional yet ingenious idea, particularly in a country where footballers sit at the pinnacle of political, social, and cultural hierarchy."

An hour of wall to wall comedy of original music will have the audience crying with laughter and dancing in their seats.

Bettong and Buddies

March 5th @
9:30am, 11am, 1pm, & 2:30pm

Bettong and Buddies features Rufous, a young bettong following his dream to become a violinist.  On his hilarious journey, he encounters other creatures in the Australian bush, who teach him -- and the audience -- what it means to be a bettong, and a critical member of his ecosystem. 

Bettong and Buddies (try saying that fast, kids) is full of surprises. Is that a real Tawny Frogmouth sitting in that tree? What other live endangered animals will you see?

Rufous Bettong’s buddies each give him a gift, all of which combine to create his violin. But could one gift be poop? You will have to come and see! 

Meet our wild animal actors after the show and have a pat, have a hold, and find out more about our amazing endangered wildlife!

CINDERELLA
THE UNTOLD STORY

​March 12th & 13th @ 2pm & 4pm

This is a fun narrated dance performance.

This ballet will take you on a journey through a madly ingenious and zany fairy tale world. As in the classic fairytale, Cinderella's life is miserable living with her two mean but comical stepsisters. When the Prince puts on a Ball, Cinderella's only wish is to attend. With the help of Seven Rats and her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella's wish comes true. Other fairytale characters attend the Ball, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, Snow White, Little Bo Peep and her Sheep, the Three Little Pigs, and Jack and Jill. These characters all dance to impress Prince Charming, but then Cinderella arrives and the Ball is turned upside down!

Will there be a happily ever after?

Coming in 2022

Midway To Nowhere

Coming 2022
Tickets: $30 (Concession $25)

Australia, winter, 1952, and a group of New Australians, migrants from devastated post-war Europe, awaits release from the limbo of life in an Australian migrant camp. These include Greeks, Italians and Serbs. Recent rioters have burnt down camp buildings, triggering armoured intervention by the army. Powerless, the migrants wage war against the camp administration, each other and themselves. Based on actual events at Bonegilla, the most famous of all migrant camps, “Midway to Nowhere” relates a chapter in Australia’s history whose telling is well overdue. This exciting new play is at turns funny, sad, angry and painful. A play that will appeal on many levels:  historically, sociologically; and philosophically, it is a play for all times and all Australians, old and new.
