Frankie hates that her friends have settled for mediocre boys and mediocre sex. The only solution? A sex strike for better working conditions.
It should be noted that Frankie is also a raging lesbian, and no one knows (everyone knows).
To some, Frankie is intelligent and forthright, to others, she's a bitch in uniform. Frankie loves her friends more than anything but is finding it hard to watch them consistently fall for boys who range from boring and uninspired, to simply the worst! Disenchanted from years of watching her friends dim their lights to accommodate men who suck, Frankie decides to take matters into her own hands. When she stumbles upon a secret her best friend’s boyfriend is keeping, she decides to rally her friends into withholding what these boys had been taking for granted: sex. Yet, as the war wages on, some begin to crumble under the pressure, and friendships are pushed to their limit.
Screwd! is a period drama set in a fictional Australian high school in the summer of 2017. Dress-codes are loose, teachers unprofessional, and no one seems to do much work. This play is what happens when two girls, who grew up on a diet of soapy-teen dramas and campy sex comedies, discover Aristophanes’ Ancient Greek comedy.

Troy’s House is a play set in suburban Canberra, that explores the drudgery and uncertainty of youth. It’s about skiving off and taking drugs and falling in love and fucking around. It’s about hanging out at Troy’s place while his mum sits on her La-Z-Boy watching daytime telly; and hearing him and his girlfriend have loud, but short sex in the other room. It’s about those feral urges that accompany young adulthood and the little voices in the back of your mind that reckon that maybe you don’t fit in the way everyone else does. Maybe you’re a bit of a shit person. Maybe your future’s not as bright as the midday sun as it gleams off Lake Burley-Griffin. What are you supposed to do when your adolescence, and the places and people that defined it, start to slip away?

Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl is a surrealist retelling of the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The play follows Eurydice, and how she reconciles with the ongoing grief from her fathers death and the gap it has left in her life. It is fundamentally a play about love, exploring the complexities of Eurydice’s romance with Orpheus and separation from her Father. While surreal and dreamlike, Eurydice is an emotionally honest play that explores themes of grief, love, family, memory and identity within the framework of a classic tale.

The SUDS major is looking for a stacked crew of talented makers to build a world of farcical fun!

A Corpse in the Cabinet is a farce set over the course of a federal election day in Sydney. In the early hours of a sweltering summer morning, Mariah, a young intern working on Prime Minister Desmond Chudmore’s re-election campaign, finds him mysteriously dead in his electoral office. In a panic and afraid of incrimination, she calls upon two of Chudmore’s most trusted advisors - Silas and Genevieve - to help her deal with this catastrophe. Through plenty of hair-brained schemes and constant bickering, the three begin to craft an intricate conspiracy to keep the story out of the public eye, and keep the voters onside.

Casting will be gender blind and race blind.
