2025 Brisbane Anywhere Festival
Thursday, 17 July - Sunday, 3 August 2025

2025 Brisbane Anywhere Festival

A festival of performances where Brisbane's undiscovered backyards, businesses, bus stops and warehouses become the stage, anywhere but where you'd expect it. From theatre on rooftops, warehouses and beaches, music in planetariums and backyards, comedy, immersive shows and performances popping up in bus stops all around Brisbane, there is no other festival that mixes the excitement of performance while discovering nooks and crannies of Brisbane. This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, please visit the Brisbane Anywhere Festival website.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Wednesday, 30 July - Saturday, 16 August 2025

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

La Boite Theatre and Dead Puppet Society Present A World Premiere of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! I WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is a high-octane comedy of monsters and heroes that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Off the coast of Queensland, deep in the Pacific Ocean, something terrifying is stirring. Meanwhile, in Brisbane, a local student feels the tremors of its approach. No one listens to her warnings, and as the beast draws closer, she must decide what’s more dangerous—the monster, or the society that created it. Equal parts climate change thriller, schlock horror, and live-action comic book, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is Godzilla meets The Betoota Advocate, created for a post - Greta Thunberg world. Written by Maddie Nixon, directed by David Morton (Dead Puppet Society) and Courtney Stewart, with original music by Dean Hanson (Ball Park Music), this is a show you don’t want to sleep on! This event is proudly sponsored by Brisbane City Council. For more information, visit the La Boite website.

She Works Hard For (No) Money
Thursday, 31 July 2025, 7 - 8:15pm

She Works Hard For (No) Money

Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour. From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!”, this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call. Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake… This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Off the coast of Queensland, deep in the Pacific Ocean, something terrifying is stirring. Meanwhile, in Brisbane, a local student feels the tremors of its approach. No one listens to her warnings, and as the beast draws closer, she must decide what’s more dangerous—the monster, or the society that created it. Equal parts climate change thriller, schlock horror, and live-action comic book, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is Godzilla meets The Betoota Advocate, created for a post - Greta Thunberg world. Written by Maddie Nixon, directed by Matt Seery and David Morton (Dead Puppet Society), with original music by Dean Hanson (Ball Park Music), this is a show you don’t want to sleep on!
