Blueberry Play
2026-06-19 19:00 - 20:05 | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, 105 William Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Being 17 is awkward. Having to take care of your sick dad when you’re 17 is another story. Especially when he keeps trying to shave his eyebrows off.
Blueberry Play is the Griffin Award-shortlisted play from playwright Ang Collins, presented in a brand new smash-hit production from regional new work powerhouse Lingua Franca.
A monologue for a solo performer (the astonishing Madelaine Osborn), Blueberry Play is a vivid and heart-bursting monologue that explores the high highs and the low lows of being a teenage girl in a small town. From the public pool to the locker rooms at school to back home where things are just a bit topsy-turvy, this is an Aussie coming-of-age story with a refreshing twist.
A play for anyone that remember what it feels like being a young person, Blueberry Play is heart-rending, intimately observed, often hilarious, and packaged in a powerful one-person performance, and an absolutely unforgettable night out at the theatre.
This production was originally supported by Upstage at the Playhouse, a new work development initiative from the Civic Theatre Newcastle.

After sell out shows across Victoria, Australia’s smoothest operators are finally setting sail for their first-ever NSW tour — and they’re bringing the heat.

From a gentle sway of yacht, to an energetic beat of rock, these buoys do it all. Known for their explosive high energy performances combining West Coast grooves and funk-fuelled dance floor anthems. This is a stage show bursting with charisma and magnetic stage presence.

Forget what you think you know about tribute bands. The Yachtski Brothers are a new generation of performers. Young, sharp and moving in perfect sync. Rocking authentic vintage threads straight from your dad’s wardrobe (but somehow pulling it off better). The Brothers keep it tight, stylish and packed with party energy that never drops.

Delivering a show that’s as visually slick as it is sonically smooth. Dock your yachts and jump on board with what crowd’s can’t get enough of.

Presenting, The Yachtski Brothers.. You’re welcome.
