THE State Theatre Centre of WA will transform into the award-winning Fringe Hub again from January 17 – February 8, giving a host of home-grown talent the chance to shine alongside the big stars.
State of Play will feature 40 shows from local, national and international artists; a mix of comedy, theatre, music, dance and family-friendly interactive experiences.

Highlights on the program include comedian Luke McGregor’s new show OK, Wow, Garry Starr’s cheeky nod to highbrow literature in Classic Penguins and Logie-winner Rob Carlton’s Willing Participant.
Rising choreographer and former South Australian shearer Lewis Major wowed audiences at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringes, and is bringing his award-winning homage to mentor Russell Maliphant to State of Play from January 29 – February 2.
Barking Gecko Arts explores the wisdom of children in the charming The Quadrangle, while WA theatre icons The Last Great Hunt negotiate the perils of modern masculinity in Fag/Stag.
The Hub’s courtyard will feature music from local jazzers Adam Hall and the Velvet Playboys, TAB Family mixing afro-pop, soulful RnB and hiphop, and romantic songstress Etta D’Elia with her new show, From Naples…With Love.
