What’s On
We are a Brisbane-based independent theatre company committed to telling unique stories.
Play on Stage is a critically acclaimed independent production company based in Brisbane that works professionally with young people on works that platform their voices and perspectives.
We stage and produce works that explore human connection, reveal hidden truths, and look at the world around us through different perspectives. On top of beloved existing works, we also stage original plays written by our experienced playwrights that allow us to further explore the topics we believe to be important to modern audiences.
Our works are affordable and accessible as we are strong believers that theatre in Brisbane should be available to every member of the community.
Through our productions, we are proud to have fostered the debuts for a number of young professional actors—doing our part to nurture the next generation of Brisbane artists. Most importantly, all proceeds we make go towards our cast and crew to ensure we can continue bringing our works to the stage.

NOW SHOWING.
THE PLAYGROUND IN THE SKY.
Who says a playground has to be on the ground?
After floods have devastated the streets of Brisbane, ten-year-old George looks for a silver lining after his family’s home has been ruined. He finds it in a mysterious girl, Melanie, who shows George an impossible playground hidden on a floating island above the city. On this playground in the sky, George, Melanie, and all the neighbourhood kids discover the joys and hardships of moving on from disaster through imagination, friendship, and embracing the wonderful unknown.
Following its critically acclaimed season in 2024, The Playground in the Sky is coming back for return season in the first week of the September school holidays at the Ron Hurley Theatre. With a brand new cast, we can't wait to take you on this magical journey to the playground of your dreams.
AGES & WARNINGS: The play deals with themes of trauma, natural disasters, mental health illnesses, and death
Dates: Monday 22nd of September - Thursday 25th of September
Venue: The Ron Hurley Theatre, Seven Hills
