Description

Think you know Riverina women? Think again.

Come on a bold journey through time with Women of the Riverina — where story, movement, music and film collide. From ancient times through wartime resilience to the frantic of today, these are the voices you haven’t heard — until now.

Ten original stories written by local women burst to life — punchy, funny, raw and deeply moving — brought to the stage by outstanding actors and movement artists. Award-winning Australian composer Elizabeth Jigalin’s evocative score weaves through striking new film by Noni Carroll, made especially for this production, creating a rich and unforgettable theatrical experience.

Set inside the historic beauty of Tumut Montreal Theatre, Junee Atheneum Theatre and the Albury Pumphouse, each venue becomes part of the storytelling — intimate, atmospheric, alive.

Arrive early, meet the artists, and enjoy a drink before the show — then settle in for a performance that will stay with you long after the lights fade.

One night only in each town.

The script won the Australian Writers Guild (AWGIE) Award for Community Theatre 2026.

Supported by Create NSW and ALBURY CITY COUNCIL.

Voices of Women is a not for profit organisation that presents new work by Australian women writers by powerful women actors, and collaborates with artists and musicians. The program begins with an annual national writing competition, and the outcome is live rehearsed readings by powerful actors in immersed, unexpected and surprising storytelling spaces. The stories are written in the first person - monologues, soliloquies and narratives - and performed in public by trained actors in rehearsed readings. Voices of Women is committed to breaking down barriers and presenting diverse stories and tales from all women in Australia, in particular First Nations stories, stories from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, from women living with disability and LGBTQI+ communities. Collaboration and community participation is at the heart of the Voices of Women adventure and the building of relationships across the writing and performance sector is key. Please contact us if you want to be a part of the adventure.
