“Above all, this play should not be well behaved.”

Alice Birch’s play is dark, but playful, melancholy, but hopeful. Through a series of striking vignettes and nameless characters, Revolt taps into the legacies of twentieth-century feminist theatre: the institution of marriage, the bond between mothers and daughters, sisterhood/solidarity among women, the glass ceiling, gender stereotypes, the impacts of commodifying and sexualising the female body to satisfy male heterosexual desire, and how we are all impacted by language.

Warren Miller’s ALL TIME is bringing 74 years of filmmaking reimagined to a theatre near you this May.

This season, it’s all about good turns and good snow on good hills with good people. Narrated by Jonny Moseley, ALL TIME dives deep into elements that Warren himself first identified as the stuff of which snowy dreams are made. From the birth of ski towns like Sun Valley and Aspen to icons and innovators like the original hotdoggers, the film brings the best of seven decades along with humor and inspiration from today—featuring Maine’s finest athlete, Donny Pelletier, and the next generation of skiers and riders at Woodward Park City.

In addition to the main feature from Warren Miller, this year’s tour will exhibit 2 local films from presenting partner Arc’teryx. Delve deep into what makes winter so special as we share stories from local film makers Divya Gordon and Taylor Bennie-Faull. This will serve as the perfect entree to the two-year party for Warren Miller’s  75 seasons on snow.

Adult $37.45
Concession $32.28

A life in the balance.
Twelve people.
One verdict.

Twelve Angry Jurors is a variation on the well-known play and movie, ‘Twelve Angry Men’ originally written by Reginald Rose in 1954, and adapted by Sherman L. Sergel.

A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge dilemma, as prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial, and each other turn the tables every which way, until the nail-biting climax…

Witness a ‘BRILLIANT’, ‘RIVETING’, ‘TRIUMPH’ of a show.

Still acclaimed as being as relevant as ever, Pepperberry Theatre‘s May 2024 production will be set in contemporary Australia and features an outstanding cast of Tasmanian talent. The play centres on the deliberation of a jury who must decide on any reasonable doubt in the case of a youth, “from the wrong side of the tracks,” on trial for the murder of his abusive father.

The play’s major themes of racism, equality and justice are still as relevant today as they were in the 1950s and are aptly reflected in the characters of the play who, subconsciously and unintentionally, begin to show their deeply rooted prejudices and staunch judgements.

This challenging ensemble work, directed by Robert Jarman, presents these twelve, cleverly written characters in such a poignant and significant way that will connect and resonate with audiences on many levels, from beginning to end.

Presented by Dogs of Pleasure

Join DOP in celebrating this momentous occasion as they release their debut album “Embrace”. Guaranteed to be an exhilarating concert experience and an unforgettable evening of improvised music from these two virtuosos.

Embrace is the culmination of more than 15 years of experimentation and ongoing collaboration between drummer Alf Jackson and guitarist Julius Schwing, having arrived at a way of playing purely their own based on a shared desire to create ecstatic and cathartic moments of improvised energy. This music is born out of a deep appreciation of the natural world and a life lived amongst the elements. Visceral and virtuosic, Embrace is an album that captures two musicians completely comfortable in each other’s sonic company, welded together by a mutual desire to spread a sense of release and empowerment.

“Dogs of Pleasure is raw, visceral, energised. To me it sounds like a big, life affirming ‘fuck yes’. But it’s also incredibly refined and focused music making that is the result of (perhaps that could only be the result of) years of collaboration between these two extraordinary musicians. I love this album and everything it represents.” – Peter Knight (trumpeter/composer/sound artist)

Dogs of Pleasure are breaking new ground with their unique musical language, blending rock and shred attitudes and a prodigious command of their instruments with an anthemic thunder, all built on the foundation of spontaneity and the thrill of improvisation. Engaging and full-bore, DOP thrive on the energy of live performance, delivering marathon sets of physical and transportive music. Proudly Tasmanian and representing an exciting new sound emerging from the island state, DOP are championing the power and unique perspectives of making music from a wild and distant place.
