From the heart of Cairns Yidinji people comes the inspiring story of a courageous woman who set out to change the world! From the humble shores of the Aboriginal mission of Yarrabah, home to the Yidinji people in North Queensland all the way to the World Stage – BUKAL is the imagining of social justice warrior, traditional owner, elder, mother and Internationally recognised academic Henrietta Marrie’s extraordinary life realised on stage. As we travel from the Australian rainforest to Geneva and journey with an Australian woman who will stop at nothing to uncover injustice and return that which was stolen to its rightful place. Just like the spirit name that her grandfather spoke over the sacred fire, Bukal (black lawyer vine), she finds ways around the obstacles blocking her path. This is a story of resilience. Of passion that is ignited from the fire inside. Of great adventure. Never giving up…and most importantly of Connection.

JUTE's ability to tell engaging, meaningful and thought-provoking community stories in a fun, interactive and entertaining way is refreshing. I have been to 2 performances and both were incredible. Absolute value for money and I rate both performances higher than big shows like The Book of Mormon or Mary Poppins, etc.

Cairns Little Theatre produces 5 major live stage productions each year plus numerous minor productions. The Rondo Theatre where performances are held is different to most live theatres, it is 'theatre in the round' where the stage is surrounded by the audience. To see if a performance is playing now please visit the Cairns Little Theatre website.

I went here recently to see Wife After Death and found it a very entertaining play. The audience seating was set to 3 sides of the stage of which I found very good. Not a huge theatre either..just right. They drinks were very cheaply priced too. Fab night out and lovely little theatre :)

4 of us went on a Friday night & paid for the 3-course dinner and the adults only Cabaret show for $84. It was a super fun night and we got drinks table service with the dinner and show package which was awesome, as normally you have to line up at the bar if not doing the dinner package. The quality of the show and performers was excellent with a talented cast of local singers, dancers and comedians, none better than Peter James as emcee Wolfgang Valentine with a fake moustache & Brooklyn accent. The skits/numbers were not all original material (eg Otto Titsling from the movie “Beaches” showed up in the 2nd half) but were all executed with awesome commitment (special shout out to the amazing wardrobe and costumes) and the raunch factor was just right (nothing too boundary-pushing), though Wolfgang was pleasingly uncensored and had the audience in fits of laughter. Best of all was the amazing towel sequence, with two amazing male performers strutting around in towels covering their nakedness from the audience (mostly) in eye-openingly creative ways. Donna Perignonn’s drag balloon popping performance was another highlight as was a certain number involving a female dancer with a strap-on. Food was good for the price ($30 for 3 courses effectively) with a basic entree, choice of 3 mains (roast beef & arancini balls were 2 of the options, and chocolate mousse inside a biscuit casing for dessert). We also took photos with the cast afterwards which was nice. A great night out! I’d be super keen to go back again.
