Romeo & Juliet
My Only Love Sprung From My Only Hate
Manor Lakes College. Juliet and her Capulet crew rule the school. They’re rich, popular and they hate the Montagues.

In a world divided between rich and poor, can our star-crossed lovers prove to their friends that love is stronger than hate? And at what cost?

Orpheus & Eurydice
This is not the first time something like this has happened around here…
Orpheus is the coolest guy in school, with a musical talent sent from the gods. Eurydice is his prize for being so great. Wait, what?
First told thousands of years ago, the Ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is one of male power, heroism and heartbreak. But what about the other characters in the story? What kind of world was Eurydice living in to be seen as a trophy wife, an object to possess, a beautiful flower to be picked, contained, owned? And is it really so different to our world now?
An original production featuring song, dance and even a bit of rugby that explores the slippery slope between pride and privilege, holding on and letting go and possession.
Date: 28 August & 29 August
Time: 7.00pm – 8.00pm
Location: Victoria University Secondary College, Senior Campus Drama Room, 5A Jamieson Street, St Albans
Price: $5 Adults, $2 Concession/ Student/ Pensioner, purchase at VUSC General Office. Proudly supported by

Waiting for Something Better by North Geelong Edge
Inspired by Beckett’s, Waiting for Godot, this new performance is a tragi-comic tale about love, hate and survival.
Dim and Gonzo are homeless and waiting at cross-roads, as the world heats up and the future seems increasingly doubtful.
A series of characters enter their world, bringing stories from the frontline of a world gone mad; a trader in rare animals who revels in the mass extinction, a soldier from a far-off war who has sold his soul to the devil and done things that cannot be imagined, a rapper who travels from place to place bringing fragments of joy into people’s lives.
They come and go again, leaving Dim and Gonzo to try and make sense of a senseless world.
Presented by Western Edge Youth Arts, Waiting for Something Better is an original piece written and performed by North Geelong Edge; a group of culturally diverse, young emerging artists from Geelong.
Date: Wednesday, 24 July
Time: 7.00pm
Location: fOrT Youth Centre, Geelong

Lele, Butterfly
The greatest shifts in consciousness begin with a single act of bravery.
Melbourne. Now. One brother raises hell amongst his family. Another steps up to defend them. Both are killed. Their father holds a memorial for one, and forbids anyone from burying the other. Everyone obeys. Everyone, except a young woman named Antigone.
Footscray Edge adapt the ancient Greek play of Antigone to explore contemporary Samoan culture and how one person’s actions can cause a ripple effect throughout a community. But will it be too late? Cultures collide, families divide and a community is turned inside out as each member of it must confront one of life’s greatest challenges: how do you act with truth and integrity in the midst of chaos, grief, fear? Do you accept the rules of your household, or do you trust in something bigger, do you spread your wings and Lele (fly).
