We`re so excited about our upcoming JUTE Actors Studio senior actors` end of term performance, Koalazilla... Not only because of the acting chops our young actors will be sharing with us, but also because of the other young people working on this project, including emerging costume and set designer Mali Smedts. In the photos, Mali`s modelling one of the character`s outfits. No points for guessing where the inspiration came from 🤣
JUTE`s Artistic Director and CEO Suellen Maunder has been supporting director Amber Grossmann and said the play is an "absolute hoot"! Have you got your tickets yet?

From humble beginnings in regional obscurity, stretched and moulded through years of hard work, fuelled by tenacity, rigour and persistence, JUTE Theatre Company has become a dynamic, award-winning, nationally regarded new work theatre company, sitting at the forefront of industry practice and consistently seeking new boundaries to explore in theatre practice.
Drawing on over three decades of industry experience, JUTE is a crucible in which new stories and perspectives are forged that inspire our communities and allow us all to reimagine ourselves through powerful shared theatre experiences. JUTE yields the floor to regional voices to examine the marginal, the unexplored, the unforeseen, to create stories that impact us deeply and change our world.
We do this through a wide range of inclusive programs of new work development, productions and touring, our Dare to Dream regional and remote tours with residencies, training, mentorship and community outreach.
