2024 – Next to Normal

The first show for 2024 was Next to Normal, staged at Belconnen Community Theatre.

Set in the early 2000s, Next to Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness, taking audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, and presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.
