WIMPY KID

Ovation creates a unique adaptation of this much loved classic! The hysterically funny, best-selling book comes to life of the smash-hit family comedy! Greg Heffley is headed for big things, but first he has to survive the scariest, most humiliating experience of any kid’s life – middle school! That won’t be easy, considering he’s surrounded by hairy-freckled morons, wedgie-loving bullies and a moldy slice of cheese with nuclear cooties!

Pillowman

Presented by Ovation's Adult ensemble, Pillowman is a gripping and wickedly funny black comedy.

This provocative and thoroughly entertaining piece uses razor sharp, rapid-fire dialogue to explore themes such as oppression, control and censorship.

This dense content is dealt with in a very clever and masterful way, using comedy and a form of modern absurdism, to have the audience laughing hysterically at the most inappropriate of times.

DNA (Mt Gambier Production)

DNA

A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, where's the incentive to put things right? A compelling contemporary piece, DNA is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very dark heart.

With a harrowing twist and a taste of the sinister that smacks of William Golding’s Lord of The Flies, DNA is a social comment that resounds with people of all ages.

Performed by final year Ovation’s senior and adult students this is one production not to be missed!

It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
