The masters of storytelling Wright&Grainger are back this month at Canberra Theatre Centre with an exceptional storytelling double bill – HELIOS + SELENE.

The internationally award winning team tell stories from Greek Mythology as if they were happening today. From stolen cars to sun chariots, HELIOS transplants the tale of the god of the sun into a modern-day myth on the winding roads of rural England. Sibling show SELENE is a lunar-lit reimagining of the Goddess and The Darkside of the moon, exploring the light and dark stuff inside all of us.

To celebrate, Canberra Theatre Centre are giving away a double pass to the performance of SELENE on Thursday 21 May at 7pm.

Look out! Holiday Workshops are BACK 🔮

Enrolments are now open for our fan-favourite Holiday Workshops. Our first creative journey for 2026 is ... The Elsewhere Project!

Step into a world where the familiar slips sideways and every journey leads somewhere unexpected. Guided by a professional theatre director, participants will explore the in-between spaces of travel — the pauses, crossings, encounters, and moments that shift our sense of where we belong.

Across four inventive days, young artists will collaborate to create an original short performance inspired by movement, connection, and the stories that emerge when we find ourselves somewhere… else. Playful, flexible, and full of possibility, this workshop invites participants to imagine what happens when we journey beyond the edges of the known.

Hurry – spots are limited! Enrol via the link in our bio 🏃‍♀️

Across four dynamic days, young artists will work together to build an original short performance inspired by gestures, objects, overheard conversations, and the surprising power of imagination. Creative, expansive, and full of unexpected turns, this workshop invites participants to see how something small can become something spectacular.
