We are so excited to be bringing you Louis Nowra's, COSI, in 2026, as we launch into as 70th Anniversary Season!

COSI is a play about friendship, community, loyalty and difference. It’s a play about the transformative nature of the performing arts. It celebrates the individual and all that we each bring to the table. It is a true epic tale that ranges from humble moments deeply personal in nature, to the soaring grandeur and spectacle of Mozart’s opera, Cosi Fan Tutti.

Set in a psychiatric facility in Melbourne, COSI follows the story of Lewis, a recent university graduate, who is tasked with directing a theatre performance involving the residents. It’s 1971 and Australia is protesting the war in Vietnam. But inside the hospital, residents and listening to Mozart, learning their lines, creating chaos and occasionally skipping their medication. It’s art, it’s mayhem, it’s heartwarming, it's challenging.

It’s a wonderful roller coaster ride all the way to opening night!
