So Popera first made a splash taking out four of five awards with A Grave Affair at the 2006 Unhinged Short Play Festival.

Since then, So Popera has been involved in Cabaret’s Dead at the

Glen Street Theatre Belrose, North Sydney in a collaboration with the North Shore Actors. So Popera opened it's first production, original show A Grave Affair in 2008 at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, written by and starring company co-founder Danny Condon. In 2009, So Popera Productions produced their first licensed show, the Jason Robert Brown favourite The Last Five Years to sold out crowds in the Gordon Theatre, Illawarra Performing Arts Centre. After taking a break for a few years, So Popera Productions made a return in January 2013 with the cult classic Avenue Q.
