Garage Girls

Three Birds Theatre is a Green Room Award-nominated, independent theatre company established in 2015 by Candace Miles, Madelaine Nunn and Anna Rodway (graduates of the Victorian College of the Arts). Three Birds has swiftly gained recognition as exciting innovators of sharp, comedy driven theatre, devoted to bringing female focused stories to the stage.

The Shift Theatre is focused on presenting dynamic works with strong roles for women, both from existing texts and in the development of new works. Since 2009, they have produced acclaimed works of longevity with a solid touring history proven regionally, nationally and internationally.
