Perform Australia presents

9 Jul 2026 to 11 Jul 2026

Join us for an exciting evening as we present The Mysterious Tale of the Mary-Celeste alongside our Youth Monologue Competition. 

Come along to the first theatre performance of our Playhouse Program students, bringing this mysterious and hilarious tale to the stage, followed by selected finalists from our online Youth Monologue Competition competing for awards and recognition.

The Mysterious Tale of the Mary-Celeste
Written by Elizabeth Avery Scott
Directed by James Scott

In 1872, the merchant ship Mary-Celeste was discovered abandoned near the Azores Islands, with no sign of its captain or crew. More than a century later, the mystery of what happened continues to intrigue historians and adventurers alike.

This 35-minute comedy takes audiences on a thrilling and imaginative journey through the many theories behind the famous "ghost ship", combining mystery, humour, and unforgettable characters.

Festival of Monologues
Following the play, enjoy the finals of our Youth Monologue Competition, featuring selected young performers from online entries as they showcase their acting skills, characterisation, and storytelling in front of an audience and adjudicators. The awarding ceremony will be held on 11 July. 

Join us for an evening of theatre, competition, and celebration of young performers!
