Take a Look Inside the Opening Night Party of PUFFS!

The PIT has announced the return of acclaimed company Recent Cutbacks with their new parody, KEVIN!!!!!.

The Peoples Improv Theater and award-winning solo show artist and producer Peter Michael Marino proudly announce the return of SOLOCOM following last year's record-breaking weekend. This year's 4-day festival features 125 world premiere solo comedies and 6 encore performances by artists from across the country, Canada and England - from traditional solo show artists to sketch, storytelling, stand-up, musicians, dance, drag, puppetry, magic, multi-media, improv, cabaret, and clowning.

PUFFS or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic - presented by TILTED WINDMILLS THEATRICALS - opens tonight, October 20, Off-Broadway. PUFFS takes a second look at everyone's favorite world of wizards through the eyes of the Puffs, a lovable group of magical misfits.

Sport for Jove's reputation has gone from strength to strength this past year for presenting Sydney's most gripping, topical and connective theatre canon, as part of which Damien Ryan's adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone is absolutely at home. A transportation of an ancient Greek tragedy into the context of a very-near-future where its messages of female empowerment, the dangers of dictatorship, the real threat of toxic masculinity on communities, and of 'public opinion' on societal progress are as valid if not more for today's audiences. The ensemble is flawless and diverse, for which alone the ticket price is worth reinforcing a vision for Australian stages such as Sport for Jove have impressed. Andrea Demetriades is a force of nature in the title role, commanding change amongst the people on stage and in the stalls through a performance direct, deep and dynamic. Damien Ryan's text is nothing short of exquisite, which bears repetition and reiteration for its multi-lingual, multi-dimensional transformation of an archetypal narrative. To create something that evokes authentic ancient tragedy not with pity but with empathy is what made this production less theatre and more art in its strongest form with every passing cue and paragraph.
