World Problems
An elegy for the future we’re yet to inherit, World Problems is both comical and terrifying, gripping and cathartic.
Friday 7 June | 1pm | GPAC Main Theatre
A woman summons up her childhood with an intensity so visceral it seems to be playing out in front of us. But as her memories draw closer to the present, the space between the personal and the speculative grows ever more blurry. Where do you end, and everything else begins?
An elegy for the future we’re yet to inherit, World Problems is both comical and terrifying, gripping and cathartic. A solo time capsule catapulting across the ages, it seamlessly merges the most private and intimate reflections with a world-spanning perspective.
Theatre maker Emma Mary Hall has cemented a reputation for herself as one of the most astute and insightful observers of the shape of things to come, blending a poetic sensibility with rigorous attention to global and historical matters.
Performed with vivid physicality by Carly Sheppard, directed by Cassandra Fumi (Associate Director, A Very Jewish Christmas Carol) and designed by Dann Barber (Bloom), World Problems trains a microscope on one soul to chart the future of all humanity.
World Problems features on the 2024 VCE Drama Playlist and is suitable for school years 9-12.

Snowy and The Seven Cool Dudes
Keeping Aussie kids fit and heathy! An interactive and fun performance for children and families!
Tuesday 9 April | 11am | GPAC Little Theatre
Snowy is becoming more beautiful every day and The Wicked Queen is not happy! She has decided to send Snowy away, to get rid of her, once and for all.
The Magic Mirror has warned The Queen this is a huge mistake – Snowy is beautiful on the inside and the outside- everyone loves her. The Queen isn’t listening and orders The Hunter from the Palace to take Snowy into the forest and leave her there forever!
Meanwhile, the Cool Dudes have decided it’s time they started making healthier food choices and doing some exercise.
During this interactive production, kids will enjoy the opportunity of role-play as they are invited on stage to become a variety of characters- including The Cool Dudes- that love to rap! The off-stage action continues with singing and dancing for the rest of the audience.
A timely piece of live theatre about making better food choices, while keeping kids fit and healthy!
