Events
Semester 1
Stray Theatre Company is proud to present our historical bill for 2019 with Aphra Behn’s The Rover.
Director Ruby Payne brings to the student stage a Restoration Era play by pioneer playwright Aphra Behn. A comedy centered around revelry, love, and freedom, The Rover is a crucial conversation starter about women and the role they play in society.
It's carnival time in Naples and two sisters sneak out from under their controlling brother's gaze to experience all that the darkest corners of the city have to offer. As their paths weave in and out with a group of English gentlemen and Europe's most famous courtesan, these young women get more than just the few nights of fun they bargained for.
2019 Season: Evening performances 9th -12th May, 7.30 pm. Matinee performance 11th May, 1.30 pm.
The Pioneer Women’s Hall, Ellen Melville Centre. (Accessible access is available via lifts from the ground floor to the Pioneer Women’s Hall.)
Tickets $10 Please email strayseats@gmail.com to secure your tickets.

Semester 2
Stir Fried XI!
11 years going strong, this entirely student-written, student-directed, and student-performed collection of short plays is a favourite among current and former UoA students. In recent years the sole genre has been comedy, but this year we're harking back to Stir Frieds of old, and opening the category to accommodate all genres.
Auditions are in the first weeks of Semester 2. The more interesting and wacky, the better!
Submissions open later in the year, and the time limit is 10 minutes - so get writing!
