‘Checked Out’ // Inscape Assembly

  Welcome to Greenmart, where the Karens run wild, wannabe creatives line the shelves, and the rule of not falling in love with your co-workers is undeniably broken! ‘Checked Out’ is a fresh musical presented by Inscape Assembly that offers a glimpse into the inner lives of several young employees navigating the challenges of both the modern retail landscape and the individuals unfortunate enough to be caught up in it. From Alice, the new kid on the block, to Jet, who has weathered it all, from the lovestruck Harry to the perennially lost Lara,”Checked Out is a comedic musical that resonates with anyone who’s toiled in customer service and nearly lost their sanity in the process. Caleb Bartlett’s lighting design was simple yet effective, employing basic backlighting and front spotlights. While the lighting scheme remained fairly straightforward, it did succeed at times in setting the scene’s mood and enhancing the musical numbers. Tess Matthews’ sound direction deserves commendatio...

'Untitled Relationship Experiment’ // Ollie Windsor

  Have you ever wondered what craziness happens behind closed doors? ‘Untitled Relationship Experiment’ highlights the unspoken conversations behind Queer relationships in one of the most hilariously constructed productions of the Brisbane Improv Festival. The festival was created to provide an opportunity for performance troupes to showcase their improv talent to Brisbane audiences, and it has succeeded. Although it needs little introduction, improv is the art of creating art from scratch with no prior preparation. Live TV shows such as ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’ and ‘Thank God You’re Here’ have brought improvisation into the mainstream but the medium ultimately belongs on the stage. Big Fork Theatre is Brisbane’s home of comedy and improv, and they hold regular workshops for aspiring actors to learn the techniques of these genres. This year Big Fork Theatre found its permanent home in Fortitude Valley which is perfectly placed for some late-night comedy. Taking suggestions from t...
