Pride is built on stories.

The stories we tell ourselves. The stories we inherit. The stories that help us find our people and understand who we are.

Melbourne, this show is about living out loud. 🌈

Our June theme is Eat, Pray, Gay: Stories of love, pride and living out loud.

Six women and non-binary storytellers. Six decades. Six true stories about identity, love, family, belonging and the freedom that comes from being exactly who you are.

Some stories are joyful. Some are hard-won. All of them remind us that Pride isn’t just a parade. It’s the everyday courage of telling the truth about who you are and how you want to live.

💫 Our Storyteller Line-up:

Team 20s: Chloe Padmore is a q***r Dulgubarra-Yidinji artist, writer and award-winning photographer whose work spans performance, public speaking and community building.

Team 30s: Jo-danah Munro is a q***r Māori non-binary educator, advocate, poet and social work student passionate about ethical living, community care and creating a more just world.

Team 40s: Andrea O’Connor is a writer and editor whose journey through identity, sexuality, motherhood and relationships has shaped a lifelong relationship with words and self-discovery.

Team 50s: Lucy Best is a comedian, actor, writer and storyteller whose work has delighted audiences across Australia and beyond.

Team 60s: Peta Murray is an award-winning playwright, memoirist and Senior Lecturer at RMIT whose work explores identity, ageing and the stories we tell about ourselves.

Team 70s+: Mary Scott is an international speaker, former psychotherapist and founder of Mary Scott Influence, helping women trust their voice and step fully into who they are.

We’re grateful to and the Central West Women’s Health Centre for supporting this event.

One of our favourite parts of touring regional NSW is partnering with organisations already making a difference for women and girls in their communities and helping shine a light on their work.

Generation Women Australia brings together a woman in her 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70+ to share true stories on a common theme. What unfolds is funny, moving, surprising and deeply human.
