Our Brisbane Story brings to life the voices, lives, contributions, and perspectives of the Blue Roo Ensemble, sharing their unique experiences of living with disability in Brisbane, our city.
This original narrative is heart-warming, funny, and thought-provoking — filled with laughter, music, buses, a River Cat, a self-driving car – and one joyous journey of collective self-discovery and celebration.
Join the Ensemble on their unforgettable trip to Brisbane’s South Bank to watch Riverfire. What will be shared? What will be learnt along the way? Why a guinea pig cafe!?
You’ll soon find out in this uplifting group adventure.
An interactive Q&A with the cast and crew members follows each performance. A treat not to be missed!
Our ensemble have been working so hard on this production. Support disability in the performing arts and get your tickets through this link: Our Brisbane Story Tickets
