A WORLD PREMIERE
A terrifyingly good night of spooky monologues, raising vital funds for the Old Fitz Theatre’s newly launched Playwright Fund.
This thrilling production unites five of Australia’s leading playwrights and a star-studded cast to premiere a powerful collection of original monologues - all with a spine-tingling Halloween twist.
In a true show of community spirit, all participating artists have generously donated their time and talent, ensuring that 100% of proceeds from this Monologue Fundraiser go directly to supporting the Old Fitz Theatre’s new Playwright Fund - an initiative designed to champion Australian playwrights.
This fund will be exclusively dedicated to advancing new Australian plays and the careers of playwrights - providing invaluable support to writers at every stage of their journey, helping to nurture the rich diversity and innovation that defines Australian theatre.
