JACK TALTY

“SCENES FROM THE SHIRT STORE”

Jack is in the middle of a gender crisis and they don’t want to talk about it. But they might sing about it. In vivid musical vignettes about community, queerness, and feeling like a big ball of blazing, blinding light, Jack unfolds a personal tale of self-discovery. Join them on a journey through Sydney’s queer spaces as they write a love letter to the clothes we wear, and the families we find. Sunlight, camp, sweat, and song.

OLIVIA TAJER

“FAMILY TIES”

Meet Liv….and the Tajer family.

Come with Liv as she explores the up and downs of family life through her growth from child to adult. You’ll meet the whole family along the way from the wacky uncle to the family dog. Learn about love and loss through songs that capture the moments of life, and how a family evolves with change.
