She, Her & I cast spotlight ✨

Meet writer and actor Mikaela Corrigan and director Nicholas Pavan, the creative duo behind Newcastle-based theatre company Cats in the Cupboard Productions.

Mikaela Corrigan is the writer behind She, Her & I and plays Clara, the hilarious middle sister with a big heart who sometimes struggles to choose sides between Nora and Lou. Her writing beautifully balances sharp humour with the raw, complicated emotions of family, grief and sisterhood.

Director Nicholas Pavan has an eye for finding the rhythm in emotionally charged scenes, knowing when to let the tension build and when to embrace the silences that leave you thinking long after the moment has passed.

📅 12–21 November
📍 The Playhouse, Civic Theatre Newcastle
Proudly presented by UpStage at the Playhouse 🫶

She, Her & I cast spotlight ✨ meet Nora, Lou and Jo.

Nora left Newcastle at 18 to study family law in Sydney. Lou never left home, dropping out of university for reasons no one quite understands. Jo, Lou's girlfriend, has been by Lou's side while her sisters have been away, forming a deep bond with their mother as she faces her final days. But with Nora's return, old family dynamics resurface, and Lou and Jo's relationship is put to the test.

Beneath the arguments, awkward silences and old grievances lies a humorous story of sisterhood, family and the complicated ways women navigate love, loss and grief.

Nora is played by Liz Vassilacos, Lou by Ruby Page and Jo by Elen Attard.

She, Her & I takes the stage at the Playhouse, 12–21 November, as the final production in the 2026 UpStage at the Playhouse season.
