WE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

Chris Davis bring a refreshed version of “The 40-Year Old Ballerino to Edinburgh Festival fringe. PHEBES, our local producer is gathering their feathers on these episodes. More to come!
Karen Hall talks about the struggles of being a full-time cellist and the realities of the artist’s journey in this piece about what it really means to be an artist today. PHEBES is still working to build a system in real-time…and we love her for it.
DELUSIONS AND GRANDEUR
UP TIL NOW - Dandelion Productions
Welcome to our kitchen, sorry about the mess! A celebration of the strength of platonic love, this original musical follows five students on the brink of change. In a time where friendships have become family and the future feels frighteningly undefined, do you cling to what you know or are you desperate to break free? As graduation approaches, plans diverge, relationships shift and the question of what comes next becomes impossible to ignore. Exploring identity and uncertainty, we question what we carry with us when the place that shaped us can no longer hold us.

QFWFQ - GREGORY NUSSEN
You are reading about QFWFQ, winner of Best Solo Show at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe. A surrealist labyrinth that stretches time and space. Inspired by Italo Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveller, this razor-sharp, absurdly funny and deeply personal show breaks all genres and has no fourth wall. Join trans artist Gregory Nussen as they rummage through the power and peril of storytelling, growing up Jewish and queer, grappling with geopolitics, and art that saves your life. QFWFQ neither begins, nor ends. How does it come together? I can't explain, but it does. Directed by Hannah Pilkes.
