The police drama gets up close and personal with A GIRL WITH SUN IN HER EYES as the mystery of the disappearance of an undercover policewoman plays out on stage.

While 2015 at the Old Fitz Theatre was filled with high-octane plays, domestic settings and masculinity to boot, 2016 will expand the horizons of the intimate 63-seat space with a season dubbed as BIG. BOLD. BEAUTIFUL. Each show programmed is bigger, be it size of cast, size of ideas, size of story, or size of location, however the deeply honest and truthful performances that have become a trademark of the Old Fitz Theatre will remain at the core of the company's focus.

Red Line Productions today announced that Australian singer and songwriter Julia Stone will compose the soundtrack for their 2016 production of Metamorphoses.

It will play from 11 May to 11 June, 2016.

A Girl With Sun In Her Eyes is a riveting re-invention of the police procedural. It's 6am and an undercover female police officer has been reported missing for several hours on Chicago's South Side. The last person to see her is now the primary suspect in her disappearance. Two veteran police officers with complex ties to the missing officer-and each other-lead the interrogation. How far would you go to protect the life you have? The Shield meets Memento in this Australian premiere thriller.

On Saturday August 22, the Old Fitz will be buzzing with exciting talent in hopes of enticing supporters along to help raise money to keep the legendary venue alive. Seven one-hour sessions of theatre will be staged back-to-back in the theatre space while canapes and drinks will be served in the upstairs bar. There'll be plenty of raffles and prizes on offer too. All entertainment on the day will be of high quality and will include many of the local community arts organisations and individuals. Every dollar raised will contribute to the future of Red Line Productions, ensuring they continue the important work they are contributing to the Australian arts scene.

The Seymour Centre and Sport of Jove Theatre Company are bringing to life one of the world's most compelling tales of friendship and survival, OF MICE AND MEN, from 9 to 25 July 2015 as part of the Reginald Season.

In a run-down house in North Philadelphia live two almost-feral orphaned brothers: the reclusive, sensitive Philip, sealed off in a world of tinned tuna and Errol Flynn movies, and Treat, a violent pickpocket and thief who steals to provide for his younger brother. Into this ferocious and funny world enters Harold, a mysterious, wealthy, middle-aged man who is kidnapped by Treat, but who soon turns the tables on the two brothers, changing forever the delicate power balance of their relationship. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, Orphans is a story of the universal love of a father for his son, and a son's need to live his own life.
