Excellent 👍

📣 Get Ready, Cairns!

We’re thrilled to announce that JUTE Theatre Company will host the powerful and poignant White Rabbit Theatre production Ready or Not, premiering right here in Cairns! 

Ready or Not, by the incredibly talented Ainslee Palmer, is a deeply personal, and, at times, funny exploration of the stories we hide, the baggage we carry, and the strength it takes to survive. Featuring cultural nods to the 90s and 2000s, this one-woman tour-de-force will move you, challenge you, and stay with you long after the curtain falls.

📅 14-15 November (première party and masterclass on the 14th!)
📍 Bulmba-ja Arts Centre, Cairns  
🎟️ https://events.humanitix.com/host/5fbc8930f96bf0000be4d96a

We can't believe it's almost been 5 weeks since we hosted DIVE Theatre Collective here in Cairns with Amor, bringing a new theatre experience to our audience. In a few weeks' time, we're bringing another company's production to Cairns, so stay tuned for that announcement - it will be totally different again!

JUTE Theatre Company

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.
