The Revlon Girl

Event Date: 20/06/2025, 07:30 pm

A rich drama about grief, greed and make-up
Aberfan, Wales, 1966. A coal waste landslide cascades down the mountainside engulfing a school where 144 people were killed,116 of them children. The Revlon Girl tells the real life story of a group of bereaved mothers who meet every week above a local pub to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.

At one of their meetings, the women looked at each other and admitted how much they felt they'd let themselves go. So afraid that people would think them frivolous, they secretly arranged for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.

This is a heart-wrenchingly sad but funny, thought-provoking story and whilst the play echoes with sadness, it charms with very real humour – and demonstrates that even lipstick can bring a touch of hope.

Cassidy's Answers For Disquieting Questi...

Event Date: 21/06/2025, 07:00 pm

June 19 - 22 at Shopfront Arts Co-Op
Cassidy West is almost nineteen. She's on her gap year. She's also lost and confused in the uncharted depths of space with only a mysterious duckling for company. And wherever she goes, something called the Puppetmaker is close behind her...

Cassidy's Answers for Disquieting Questions is an atmospheric romp across the highways and hotels of the universe, weaving together live performance and illustrated sequences to tell a tale of surreal humour, cosmic horror and bus rides. Lots and lots of bus rides.

Shopfront’s Member Production is a three-month residency, chosen by our members aged 8 – 26 and can involve any art form. Receiving artistic support, an industry mentor and production team, the chosen resident can present their artistic creations in front of an audience as part of Shopfront’s 2025 Season.

Romeo & Juliet

Event Date: 22/05/2025, 07:00 pm

Playing at The Lounge, Chatswood
Step into a Verona not bound by time or place when the “magical” Shakespeare company Come You Spirits continues its 2025 season with a heart-rending, soul-awakening production of Romeo & Juliet, running 21–24 May.

Renowned for their immersive, elemental, and transformational interpretations of Shakespeare’s greatest works and bringing audiences the heart of the play, the company - described as “next-level experiential theatre” (City Hub) - brings a visceral energy to this most iconic of love stories — not as a tragedy, but as a deeply human and timeless exploration of love, fate, family, and the fight to be truly seen.

There are evening performances for the general public as well as matinees timed for secondary students who often study this play in Term 2. Coupled with the ease of the venue for accessibility (train station and ample bus parking) this is a dream for teachers and students.

Says co-founder Jo Bloom: “We’ve been taking this play to venues such as Rathmines theatre in Lake Macquarie and the incursion version into schools already this year and it’s clear the high-energy style is captivating audiences” young audiences and teachers are giving it 5/5.

“An electrifying Romeo and Juliet by the incredible Come you Spirits, bringing Shakespeare’s drama to life in the most spectacular way” - Macarthur Anglican High School.
