  • KOAL

    By Jacinta Yelland

    Part climate-catastrophe, part clown show— KOAL is a one-woman show for the end of the world. As wildfires tear through Australia, a baby koala, a coal miner and an Indigenous girl desperately strive to hold onto their homes before all burns and turns to ash.   KOAL is an interactive solo-show, performed by Jacinta Yelland and directed by Trey Lyford, that immerses the audience in the middle of the 2019 Australian bushfires. The show follows two eyewitnesses to this climate catastrophe; Koal, a baby koala recovering at a wildlife sanctuary after being saved from a nearby wildfire, and Stevo, a career coal miner trapped in a collapsed mine hundreds of meters underground. Woven throughout is the story of Minah, an Indigenous girl who was removed from her home and interned by her government during WWII.   Using documentary theatre, clown, and audience interaction, KOAL takes the audience from laughter to tears as it explores what is lost when your home is erased.

  • Heart Ripped Out Twice And So Can You!

    By Linnea Bond

    An enthusiastic sales representative pitches you on existence, but the darker realities of life keep pushing through her carefully constructed presentation - not to mention phone calls that make this sale personal. Written after a harrowing health journey and a devastating breakup, Linnea wonders: is it worth it?  A (mostly) comedy about pain.
