Gippsland’s brightest young talents take center stage in the beloved classic, Singin’ in the Rain JR.!

Adapted from the iconic 1952 film and featuring a script by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, this delightful musical brings the golden age of Hollywood to life. Set against the backdrop of the silent film era, it follows the hilarious behind-the-scenes drama of movie stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont as they navigate the transition to “talking pictures.”When Lina’s squeaky voice threatens her career, a young actress steps in to save the day—setting the stage for a comedy of errors, romance, and unforgettable songs.

With a score of classic hits like “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Good Morning,” and “Make ‘Em Laugh,” this production promises an evening of laughter, toe-tapping tunes, and dazzling choreography.

Perfect for families and fans of the original film, Singin’ in the Rain JR. showcases Gippsland’s most talented youth in a truly unforgettable performance!

What does it mean to be the absolute essence of who you are without being wedded to any of it? For a long time, the ‘self’ was considered a stable and trustworthy container within which you can be found. Emerging theories of selfhood recognise that it isn’t so simple. We know that we can have as many social selves as the people who recognise us.

Artists: Bruno Booth, Amrita Hepi, Léuli Eshrāghi, Bhenji Ra, Aleks Danko, Cassie Sullivan, Georgia Morgan, Cigdem Aydemir, David Rosetzky, and Shea Kirk. Curated by Caine Chennatt.

Niusia

How do you honour the legacy of a woman you hardly knew, and didn’t really like?

Tuesday 13 May, 2025 | 10.30am | GPAC Little Theatre

Niusia was a Holocaust survivor. Her granddaughter, Beth, only remembers an angry, dying woman. She’s ready to learn her stories, but what she discovers is all the questions she didn’t know existed and wasn’t allowed to ask.

Weaving together memories, handed-down stories, and interviews with family, Beth sets out to understand her nana’s complex legacy. She gives voice to the cruel thoughts you shouldn’t have about your Holocaust-surviving nana, stumbles upon her own Jewishness (something she used only to evade school church services), and ultimately confronts how deeply embedded these horrific memories are in her family line. She asks, “I’ve somehow always known these stories. When did I learn these stories, and how?”

Discovering what happens when aspiration becomes assimilation after fleeing war and devastation for belonging and safety, NIUSIA interrogates what remembrance looks like when all that is known are the spaces where questions should have gone. It is a story all too familiar to second, third, and fourth generation immigrants and the haphazard cultural legacies they are handed by their families and examines the precarity of reconciling these mixed identities.

Journey with Beth as she is shown the tenderness she missed out on, learns to laugh at the unlaughable, and wades through the complexity of trauma-laden memories, love, and familial relationships.

NIUSIA is part of the 2025 VCE Playlist for Drama Unit 3

Artemis: Utter Mess

A musical comedy about identity and finding the right language.

Saturday 10 May, 2025 | 7pm | GPAC Little Theatre

ARTEMIS: UTTER MESS welcomes you to join Artemis Muñoz as they unpack their journey to self-acceptance live on stage. This 60-minute cabaret featuring nine-original  songs is a show for anyone who has ever wondered where they belong or been confused about living in a world that takes issue with words of identity and community but is keen to put us in the wrong boxes, nonetheless.

Artemis: Utter Mess, is a bitingly hilarious deconstruction of the ‘one-man show’ from the perspective of a nonbinary person. This ‘one-enby show’ breaks every possible binary to  delight in the chaos of trying to work out who you are. Featuring original songs and utterly endearing storytelling, this show will make you both laugh and think as it tears into our assumptions about labels, language and community.

The show centres around Artemis’ experience of discovering and learning to understand their identities as a trans, nonbinary, ace (asexual), neurodivergent, and bi-racial person. This journey is used as a case study to unpack why community and identity is important  against the backdrop of a world that continues to ask “why do you have to label Everything?

Against the backdrop of ‘diversity’ initiatives that are mostly about ticking boxes. Sometimes people can see this language of identity and assume that it’s all about jumping on that bandwagon. Maybe for some that’s true but this show breaks down how those ‘labels’ can be the difference between feeling broken and feeling like a whole person. They can be the difference between having a community and feeling alone. That’s a world of difference. One that Artemis: Utter Mess conveys in a way truthful but also fun and not Preachy.

“A must see for all ages and genders! An honest representation of what it’s like to be labelled and boxed in. You will laugh and possibly shed a tear. Artemis is a wonderful story teller, beautiful singer and utterly likeable.” — Ali, 50
