GLORIA ORIGINAL CAST BENEFIT READING - From the writer of such acclaimed plays as Everybody, An Octoroon, Appropriate, War and Neighbors, Gloria is Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins' funny, trenchant and powerful play that follows an ambitious group of editorial assistants at a notorious Manhattan magazine, each of whom hopes for a starry life of letters and a book deal before they turn 30. But when an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell their own story become higher than ever. click here

A Migrant's Son - Get ready to stream Michaela Burger's smash hit cabaret to your favourite screen as A Migrant's Son comes to the CST Screening Room - our online home for great independent theatre. Igniting memories of a story that millions can relate to, cabaret star Michaela Burger pays tribute to her Greek migrant family and her hard-working, fun-loving larrikin father Luke, who defied all odds. From early morning deliveries for the family bakery at age seven, down opal mines in Coober Pedy at age sixteen and opening a chain of discount supermarkets in Adelaide, Luke's road was not one for the faint-hearted. You'll travel with her over 100 years from Russia to the Australian outback, following the hardship, ingenuity, tragedy and triumph present in all migrants' stories. Brought to life with Burger's original music, Michaela tells her family story with poignancy, heart and comical aplomb. The original production premiered with a sell-out Adelaide Cabaret Festival season, was nominated for a Helpmann Academy Award, and won the inaugural Frank Ford Award at the 2019 Adelaide Fringe. This critically-acclaimed show was due to travel to theatres around the country in 2020. Covid and closed borders may have grounded Michaela and the team, but they were still inspired to share this very special story with you. And so, Michaela and the team filmed A Migrant's Son live at the Hopgood Theatre in Noarlunga, South Australia, and here it is, presented by Critical Stages Touring for a strictly limited digital season. We hope you'll join us in virtually welcoming Michaela and family into your home. click here
