Blending comedy, drama, physical theatre, mime, and ensemble storytelling, From Page to Stage showcases emerging local creatives exploring character, scriptwriting, directing, and devised theatre practice.

A collection of original short theatrical works developed through the Starlet Creative Industries Theatre Masterclass Series, produced by Marianne Buchanan, alongside James Kerwin of Handspeak and his original mime sketches, the performance brings ideas from rehearsal room to stage in vivid, unexpected ways.

Funny, heartfelt, physical, and collaborative, each piece reflects the process of discovering voice, form, and story in real time.

Presented by Handspeak and Starlet Creative Industries as part of Queensland Fringe in partnership with The Empire.
