Greenroom has been tracking what’s on since 1 September last year … yes, we’re just over 9 months old … and it looks as though June is the hot month for activity in the theatre year … so far. The entire month is given over to the !MetroArts developmental Free Range House Party – drop-in style, the HUGE Out of the Box Festival starts tomorrow, with the Brisbane Cabaret Festival to come, all of Brisbane’s venues are in full-swing, and the blog chat is about why we need more. Some cultural desert!
Opening:
Out of the Box Festival: QPAC -all over! Watch out for tiny theatre-lovers.
The Chairs by Eugene Ionesco Dir Brian Lucas: La Boite Theatre Company at the Roundhouse Theatre
Continuing:
Fat Pig by Neil LaBute Dir Morgan Dowsett: Queensland Theatre Company at Bille Brown Studio
Dancing Back Home: JUTE and Mudlark Theatre (Cairns)
Brave New World Order – a serious rock-opera by Clarry Evans and Brett Heath: Brisbane Powerhouse
Other
Free Range Houseparty creative development workshops. Drop in throughout the month. !MetroArts
Blog Post of the Week:
Check out theatre advocate and director Sean Mee’s post in his blog The Death of Reason for the historical reasons for Brisbane’s not having lots of little theatre spaces like Melbourne’s, and how we could – if we tried harder.
