Brisbane's La Boite Theatre Company are raising the curtain on their 2021 season.
Act One of the programme features two world premieres, a new film project and a slate of HWY events from January to March.
Part of the first act is the world film premiere of 'The Welcome'; an extension of La Boite's 'The Neighbourhood' which acts as a collection of short films sharing stories that will transport audiences across countries, borders and oceans.
Electrifying new play 'Naked & Screaming' will take audiences on a heart-stopping thrill ride of the mind – it's a look at contemporary relationships and the complexities of being a new parent, directed by Sanja Simic and starring Emily Burton and Jackson McGovern.

Next up is the world premiere of cabaret show 'Bigger & Blacker', seeing comedian and television sensation Steven Oliver returning to La Boite. The show is intensely personal, cheeky and semi-autobiographical. 'Bigger & Blacker' is directed by Isaac Drandic, and sees Steven join forces with Helpmann Award-winning performer Michael Griffiths.
HWY Live will run from January to April: an annual series of showings, workshops, conversations, installations and works in development. They include 'ARTHUR' by Dead Puppet Society, 'Major Arcana' by David Burton and 'HOME' by Hot Cousin.
