Latest News
In 2009, Jigsaw Theatre Company will be 35 years young! To celebrate this momentous occasion Jigsaw hosted a birthday party at the Australian Academy of Science’s Shine Dome on Wednesday the 18th of February. Senator Kate Lundy, Mary Porter AM MLA and Vicki Dunn MLA joined past artistic directors, staff, artists and technicians from the last 35 years in remembering and celebrating Jigsaw’s place in the local and national arena.
At the birthday party, Jigsaw launched The Memory Project - a series of interviews with past staff, artists, Board, students, teachers, principals, audience members and others about their memories of Jigsaw that will culminate in a special publication later this year. If you have a memory you would like to share, please email: info@jigsawtheatre.com.au

Wendy - A new musical re-interpretation of Peter Pan
Music & Lyrics by John Shortis
Book by Kate Shearer
Wendy is the eldest daughter of the Darlings and Peter is the only boy able to fly without the help of fairy dust. Wendy can't wait to grow up, in contrast to Peter who refuses to do so. There’s pirates, meeting lost boys and learning to fly but it’s not quite the story you know.
Wendy takes JM Barrie’s classic novel, Peter and Wendy written in 1911 and re-interprets it in a captivating new musical imagining how it might be if Wendy was a modern girl.
