What's On At Goodwood Theatre & Studios

Five exhilarating heats leave us with ten state finalists, ready to take the stage and battle it out to become our 2024 State Champion and earn a spot at the Sydney Opera House for the national final.

​

Crowds will flock with cheers and hoots. Judges, chosen from the audience, will decide the fate of our poets and determine who makes it to the next stage. The stakes are high! Our State Finalists win cash prizes and a trip to Sydney, with the chance to become the next APS Champion. It could earn them prizes worth $20,000, including publication and gigs from Byron to Bali and beyond.

​

Be there to watch, to enjoy, to support your poets, and maybe even to have a say in who gets through to the next stage!

​

PLUS a guest performance from TAIAHA!

Straight out of Aldinga, South Australia carrying strong Maori heritage, this versatile Hiphop artist mixes his childhood soul and reggae favourites into his own style of vocalism. TAIAHA transcends the genres that are so important to culture and industry and breaks them down to their most basic form; frequency and language. The meaning of the words and the feeling of the music.

 

Outside the Box - Junior Cast

​

Thinking outside the box is not always easy, especially when the world requires you to live on the inside. Exhausted from cramming into corners where they do not fit, six kids turn things inside out by inviting others to see things from a whole new perspective.

 

Lord of the Choir - Senior Cast

 

A choir, a limited supply of marshmallows, and a broken-down bus: What’s the worst that could happen? Definitely not anything that could’ve happened in Lord of the Flies. Between prideful sopranos and wannabe basses, who will come out on top? Or will no chorister be left standing?

 

Come and support young actors from across Adelaide perform these challenging and captivating plays.

 

6 daring and passionate writers/performers will come together to create a brand-new show in an exciting project directed by Connor Reidy. 

​

Over six months, creatives will be given the same brief plus prompts along the development process, each creating a 10-minute original monologue. In the final week, creatives will come together to rehearse each piece and develop a cohesive production. 

​

The cast includes Prosper Hakizimana, Melissa Pullinger, Luca Sardelis, Rob C Wells, Luke Wiltshire and Chloe Zodrow

Juno knows hugs. In her 30-something years she’s had everything from the truly wonderful hug number 32, the ‘God-I-love-you-and-everything-about-this-hug-is-just-so-right’ hug, right through to the truly awful hug number 94, the ‘I-do-not-want-you-this-close-to-me-and-I-wish-I-was-anywhere-but-here’ hug. But can something as simple as a hug really change your life?

Blending spoken word poetry with round-the-kitchen-table style storytelling, Juno journeys through her personal hug repertoire, weaving tales of loss and love as she figures out what to do with this one glorious life. One hug at a time.

Heartwarming, poignant and captured by Sarah Peters’ trademark lyrical storytelling and warmth, An Incomplete Encyclopedia of Hugs is a one-woman theatre-shaped hug for your soul.

Starring Claire Glenn, directed by Eliza Lovell and presented by South Australian Playwrights Theatre, make sure to get your tickets early for this unique and intimate theatrical experience.
