Behind-the-scenes at rehearsal, meeting our trainee directors, and our school matinée
Happy New Year! As we gear up for our production of Nick Payne’s Constellations, exciting things are on their way. Read on for a look inside our rehearsal room, where we’ve been joined by five emerging directors participating in our Open Room program. Are you a teacher? Are you connected to an organization that serves youth? Our student matinée is February 21st, and we want to offer some discounted tickets! PLUS: keep scrolling to watch our cast go head-to-head in the Newlywed Game💍

Student Spectacular: Discounted Tickets Now Available for Student Groups and their Teachers!
Thanks to your generosity, we have raised enough money to offer our low-cost ticket program! This means that 114 high-school students and their teachers be offered $15 tickets. Our student matinée is February 21st at 1pm and will be followed by an artist talkback. If you are a teacher, or you know a teacher, who is interested in bringing their students to our show, please get in touch! You can email us at [email protected], or message us on Facebook or Instagram. (Note: this show is recommended for people above the age of 13).
Our $15/ticket rate is also available for community groups facing financial barriers. We want to make sure that theatre is accessible to all, so if you are connected with a group who could use this low-cost option, we’d love to hear from you.
Want to be a theatre hero? You can still donate to our fundraiser! For every $10 donated, we can provide a low-cost ticket to someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it.
In rehearsal with the cast and crew of Constellations
Rehearsals have officially begun! We are pleased to announce that five participants will be joining us in our Open Room program, which provides free training and mentorship to early-career directors. After an overwhelming number of applications, Jack Bumbala, Alexis Hope, Shannon Hunt, Louisa Phung, and Sophia Saugstad will be joining us in this exciting program. We’re so excited to work with everyone!
Have you secured your seats yet? Tickets are going quickly (we might even add another show!) so get them now before you miss out. Remember: if you’re under 30, tickets start at just $30!

How well do Jacob and Gillian know their characters?
That’s all from us for now. We love to hear from our community, so feel free to drop us a line on Facebook, Instagram, or over email. We hope the year brings you health and happiness, and we look forward to seeing you at the theatre.
