Cava Charley’s Backstage Pass
Dashing drag-dandy Cava Charley hosts an all singing, all dancing theatrical extravaganza. You’re invited into the backstage chaos as Cava deals with cast mate crises, management malpractice, and a building that’s crumbling underfoot. You’re an audience looking for a good time, you’re a tired artiste sharing gossip in the dressing room... you might be called upon to save the show!
Packed with song and silliness, Backstage Pass is a funny and fearless look at the legacy of mental illness in the arts, our reticence towards self care, and what draws us to the magic and the mayhem of live theatre.
The show has been made with a relaxed style in mind. The audience are informed at the beginning of trigger warnings, and told they are free to come and go as they please. There are no sudden flashing lights and no sudden loud noises.
