The Schedule!....
This year the festival is on a smaller scale and has a number of unique online streaming performances. Therefore this year our Fringe Camp will have some Watch Parties at our venue as well as our day trips out.
Please note our Watch Party performances may change before the week begins...
MONDAY 9th August
10am - Mix Up Drama Games
10:30am - WATCH PARTY - Something in the Water!
Grumms doesn't see themselves in the Barbies or GI Joes they play with. Instead, they find solace in their superhero comic books. But when Grumms transforms into a horrible squid monster (think Creature from the Black Lagoon meets The Muppets) they must hide their secret identity and disguise as a 'normal, human woman'. Superhero or horrible monster? You decide. 'Inventive, unpredictable and seriously wacky, ripped from the pages of a superhero cartoon comic book' (Advertiser). Winner: Best Theatre, Adelaide Fringe, 2021.

11:45am - WATCH PARTY Physical Theatre Double Bill - Taiwan Season: Fighters
Drawn from one of the most popular works of classical Chinese literature, this stylishly buoyant show by Nai-Hsuan Yang's Les Petites Choses Production is fierce fun for all ages. Introduced by a welcoming narrator, five godly characters spring vividly to life from page to stage. The wonderfully game cast's energising fusion of hip-hop and contemporary dance is further enlivened by a folk-techno soundtrack. The result is a highly entertaining slice of theatrical mythology brought bang up-to-date for a global society that might well need a new breed of heroes.
12:00pm - WATCH PARTY Physical Theatre Double Bill - Out of Order
In a not-so-distant future lingers the bitter aftertaste of a déjà vu, the theatres are empty, meeting places and cultural venues are no longer permitted, physical contact is prohibited. Artists are forced to meet secretly in forsaken spaces. The big top is achingly deserted. Spread out across this post-apocalyptic setting, ten gloved and masked characters scrutinise one another, prepare, approach and avoid contact. Coming from all walks of life, these forgotten acrobats cling to their vocation as best they can.
1:00pm - Finish.

Based on the brilliant book by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt, Nonsense Room Productions (Shark in the Park and Hairy Maclary Shows) bring you a brand-new interactive musical show for all the family. But in this show – You Choose what happens! Using the picture book as inspiration and through a series of games and challenges, each show will be unique with different characters, locations, costumes and much more every time!
