FREEDOM COULD BE ONE PUNCH AWAY…

“We can’t be seen to cry, to feel, to love. Be loved.”

Meet Flynn: He’s strong, he’s a boxer, and… gay? As if living in the shadow of his father’s failed boxing career wasn’t tough enough, he’s then cruelly outed. This edgy, impactful work will thrill you with its tour de force physicality. It challenges us to confront what drives men to violence. Enter the ring and join Flynn for his ultimate battle. Self-acceptance hits hard.

Shadow Boxing dives deep into Flynn’s experience and the raw, gritty world of masculinity. Performer Samuel Addison takes us on a visceral and emotional roller coaster ride that will leave you breathless.

“Shadow Boxing is gripping from beginning to end. I was struck by the sheer physicality of Addison’s performance.” (OUT in Perth)

“Addison is a phenomenal performer …a compelling performance by an actor at the top of his game.” (Fourth Wall Media)

“… a raw, vivid and exciting piece of theatre.” (ArtsHub)

Selling at Halftix: Original Vintage Orpheum Theatre Window Posters

I'm honoured to be offering a special collection of original vintage window posters from the legendary Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco — once graced by the late Deb McDougall, a powerhouse in the theatre arts world.

Deb had a remarkable career at the Arts Centre and in the U.S., where she worked at the Orpheum and met some of the greats of stage and screen. These posters were part of her personal collection, and I'm selling them on her behalf to honour her incredible legacy.

Each piece is priced accordingly. Some show charming signs of age, and one special item is a Tap Dogs poster signed by Dein Perry. I also have a range of her beautiful framed prints from her Arts Centre days coming soon.

Frames not included.

If you're interested, message me or drop by Halftix to see them in person. A unique chance to own a slice of theatre history and celebrate Deb’s lasting impact on the arts.
