Break a Leg Theatre is based in Gippsland and we regularly perform original works and recognised drama pieces at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre. We are the producers of the Gippsland Theatre Festival which has run since 2005.
Our development program First Time Theatre, is an opportunity for adults who have never been on stage but always wanted to.
It's My Party (and I'll die if I want to)
Ron Patterson is given three months to live by his doctor. By his calculations he has exactly 111 minutes left. His wife Dawn has invited all the kids around for sausage rolls, saladas and a bit of quality time.
As Ron attempts to tie up the loose ends of his life, all the juicy neuroses of this very dysfunctional family come out and his well planned last party starts to unravel. It's My Party (and I'll die if I want to) is an excellent Australian black comedy that keeps the surprises coming until the very end.
Directed by Dan Towb with a cast consisting of

Everyone has something to offer at Break a Leg Theatre
Jack was trying out for a part in a school play. He'd set his heart on being in it, though his Mother feared he would not be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, Jack rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mum," he shouted, and then said those words that should be a lesson to us all: "I've been chosen to clap and cheer."
