Dive into this fun adventure and join the Musical Theatre Crew’s Junior Crew as they make a splash with this fun-tastic tale ‘under the sea!’

Ariel, an inquisitive and adventurous mermaid and youngest daughter of King Triton, is fascinated by the human world. She collects human ‘junk’, much to the worry of her best friends Flounder and mentor Sebastian, and to the amazement of Scuttle the seagull (and self-proclaimed expert on ‘human stuff’)! One day Ariel catches sight of a human called, Prince Eric, and longs to live in his world. Two slithery eels, Flotsam  and Jetsam take Ariel to see a magical sea-witch Ursula an octopus, with whom she trades her tail and voice for legs and a life on the land. But the deal is not what it seems, as life under the sea is turned upside down and Ariel and her friends must work together to save their world!

Lune River
Forming in nipaluna / Hobart, Lune River are a Rock ’n’ Roll group in spirit. Through dreamy songwriting that sets the dials for the sun, their music exhales space hooks and melody – yet with good feels and weight when it counts. Their affinity with adventurous psych-rock jams and organic songwriting also gives them a rare duality that reflects their love for the 60s. You can expect to hear plenty more of Lune River over the coming waves of time.

Jethro Pickett is a Tasmanian songwriter and producer who’s gearing up for a new release this year with a new sound. His last release was put out by Phill Calvert’s (The Birthday Party) Behind The Beat Records and they’re on board for the next one too. Jethro has toured with various pop/rock bands all over the world and has a big pool to delve into and inspire from. Expect some cosmic pop from this prince of freak folk.

Celeste Evelyn is an artist/singer-songwriter born from the wild and fertile coastal soil of lutruwita/Tasmania, honing an original sound that borrows from roots, soul, folk and alt-rock, yet strays into realms of a genre undefinable. An earth-spun songstress with provoking lyrics, emotive melodies, and a focus on the depth and colour available to our human experience that can be found through rhythm and melody.

Singer-songwriter Cathy Diver writes intimate alt-country and folk songs cast tender vignettes, shifting and sunburnt.  Based between lutruwita/Tasmania and Ngunnawal Country, she has toured significantly and supported the likes of Julia Jacklin, Didirri, Tim Rogers and Carla Geneve, as well as co-forming indie label, Undine Records, in 2020.

Be careful what you wish for… you might just get it!

Wishes, spells, curses and adventures abound along with marvellous singing, dancing and comedic performances by Musical Theatre Crew‘s entertaining performers aged 13-16 years.

Once upon a time… a witch’s curse condemns a Baker and his Wife to a life without children. They embark on a quest to find the four items that will break the spell – the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold! Will they succeed? And what happens after ‘happily ever after?’

Into the Woods Jr flips the fairytale world on its head, bringing together favourite characters Cinderella, Jack (and his beanstalk), Little Red Riding Hood, a big bad Wolf, a Witch and more into this fun show, ultimately reminding us to be careful what you wish for – as you just might get it!

Jay Jarome
Growing up on an island in south east QLD, singer-songwriter Jay Jarome made the move down to nipaluna/Hobart on a scholarship to study music at the conservatorium. He’s since taken the island state by storm with his soulful vocals, smooth musicianship and thoughtful song writing. Jay has channelled his unique blend of Soul, Blues, Folk and Funk all around lutruwita/Tasmania – from busking in the street to performing on stages at Falls Festival, A Festival Called Panama, DARK MOFO, Party in the Paddock and many more.Spending the last few years collaborating with other musicians, songwriters and producers, Jay has carefully pieced together his first E.P titled, ‘Blue Skies’. In lead up to the release of this debut, Jay is launching a single called ‘WATWIFFY’ on the 22nd of October. Jay Jarome Band along with Jeqa and Karai will be putting on a show at The Founders Room to celebrate the artist’s first release since 2019.

After recently rotating into DJ work, Bad Camel has begun developing and honing his DJ soundscape.
You can expect to hear elements of funk, soul, disco, house and pop in his DJ sets that will leave you wanting more.

Jeqa
Jeqa create big and beautiful sounds that loosely draw inspiration from dream pop and alternative rock. With lyrical references drawn from fairytales, insects and spiritual epiphanies, the music of these five mates will have you lost in a sea of luscious guitar swirls and powerful soaring melodies.

KARAI
KARAI is a Singer-Songwriter Guitarist based in nipaluna/Hobart, luturwita/Tasmania. Beginning his professional career in 2007 at the age of 18, KARAI has carefully crafted his vocal range, agility, guitar playing and high energy stage theatrics which lead him to tour Australia and internationally with the likes of Sampa the Great, Ngaiire, Okenyo and Chet Faker.Inspired by Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Nick Hakim, Jeff Buckley & Prince – KARAI’s folk-soul songs have strong social commentary whilst allowing the listener to develop their own connection.

It’s that time of year, where people roam the streets in want of candy, and the adults dress up as sexy versions of the mundane and dance dance dance till they die.
Hallo-qween is where the queers gathers to enjoy some spooky queer cabaret talent, mingle with other like minded individuals, and get the fright of their life as Hera put’s their safety as risk, again.
Some of your hand selected cabaret dreams will be on stage, with a prize for best dressed (YES THERE IS A BEST DRESSED!!!) so make sure you put something on (or not) and get ready for Halloqween.

QT Cabaret is a place for Transgender and Gender queer people to trial cabaret acts, or just let off some steam on stage. It is a space to meet other people, and to watch the amazingly talented community of Hobart.
