Our (sold out) season of AMERICAN SONG by Joanna Murray-Smith closed a week ago, and for those of you who know, we’ve spent the week “bumping out” of and feeling very grateful for the support we received to make such an impactful and memorable production.

So as we put the season to bed, we’d like to take one last moment to thank our major supporters and partners - without whom we really couldn’t have made the show.

THANK YOU to: and , our presenting partners and ,
and to our sponsors YESS

You are the BEST! See you at the next season…

“Director David Mealor’s production is a masterpiece, letting Murray-Smith’s writing live and breathe at its own, sparse, deeply introspective, gentle pace. In Renato Musolino, is an actor who can, with patient precision and gentle calm, develop and grow Andy as a character who is as charming as he is hopeful, vain, remorseful and ultimately, lost.” - David O’Brien, The Barefoot Review

“Musolino is a consummate actor who has been superbly directed by Mealor in this production. Each breath, each pause, each step is purposeful and designed to draw the audience close to Andy and his story. His joy lights up the room, his misery is measurable; his guilt is palpable. His regrets haunt him, and his despair renders the audience inconsolable. The season is short, and the staging means seats may be at a premium. It is a ‘must see.’” - Jude Hines,

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Working primarily in the round, the partnership between Musolino and Mealor is strong, not only hitting story beats with care, but equally working in the round with precision to ensure every audience member is a part of the conversation and connects with the story being told… Congratulations to Flying Penguin Productions for the 20 year history of producing quality independent productions in South Australia – American Song is another quality offering added to the list.” - Hayley Horton,
