With its satirical tone, quippy dialogue and cast of carefully clichéd characters, Harry and Jake Vreugdenburg’s Stuck in an Office with a Bunch of F*ckwits turns your favourite workplace sitcom into a musical as colourful as it is chaotic✨. What begins as a monotonous first day in a typical mundane office descends into pure anarchy as a hurricane warning leaves the team with no escape 🫣. The cracks in their facades widen and break, unleashing the worst in each and every character.

Following a ragtag group of young soldiers and their toiling families back home, Poppy Poems 🌺 tells a tale of war and hardship that is at once heart-warming and heart-wrenching. Drawing from and interpreting historical records, Eadie Milne crosses the boundaries of time to individualise those whose names and faces have been lost to history. With songs based on Australian poems, the show captures a true-blue spirit that is a poignant reminder of those we’ve lost.

About Monique:
Over the last 10 years I have designed lighting for musicals, managed venues, managed teams, operated sound, lighting and projection simultaneously for festivals, mixed musical artists of all genres and worked miracles with gear older than I am in spaces not at all intended for live performance.

Most recently I have been touring Australia working in sound on major musicals such as Come From Away, Hamilton, Mary Poppins, Phantom of the Opera and currently I am the radio mic technician on Tina the Tina Turner Musical.

As a way to share my love for the industry I have dedicated my life to as well as to share insider knowledge with the next generation of crew I started creating youtube videos in the hope that they will encourage and empower people to step into the career of their dreams, especially those of us who don't fit into the mould we have been shown of people who have traditionally held these positions.
