A performance production company, committed to the artists, right in the heart of Freo.
Milroy & Oceans.
Morning Mels ' Next Level!' - with the amazing talents of David Milroy & Lucky Oceans.
WEDNESDAY 30 OCTOBER AT 10.30AM
FOR FREMANTLE THEATRE COMPANY AT VICTORIA HALL, HIGH STREET, FREMANTLE
Grammy Award winning LUCKY OCEANS and award winning writer and musician DAVID MILROY will take you into the Zone with their free-wheeling versions of David’s songs about love, culture & country, Lucky’s songs about AI, astral travel, and the universe - and songs by the musicians that inspired them along the way.
DAVID MILROY is one of the key figures of WA's Indigenous Art Renaissance, having been Artistic Director of Yirra Yaakin Theatre and a writer of award-winning plays, including Windmill Baby and Waltzing the Wilarra. Perth Festival presented his Panawathi Girl at His Majesty's Theatre in 2022, where it garnered 5 star reviews and won 'Best New Work' in the WA Performing Arts Awards of 2023.
Many of David's beautifully crafted songs are plucked from his plays and he has been a gifted and prolific writer of songs since he became a professional musician in the 70s. Like his plays, his songs take an honest, generous and humorous view of the human condition from his unique viewpoint.
LUCKY OCEANS is a Grammy-Award winning steel guitarist who has played with Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Paul Kelly and Hank Marvin. Lucky was the host of ABC RN's beloved Radio show The Daily Planet for 21 years. His songs shine with the experience of a lifetime in music while they muse on birth, death, AI, ecology and poetry. He plays many styles of music and has been called 'the most influential steel guitarist of his generation'.
Fremantle Theatre Company (FTC) is proud to present these two wonderful musicians in a format that make them accessible to all ages. FTC recognises that some people struggle to attend performances in the evening and miss the joy of performing arts.
The doors open at 10am for a cuppa (or you can bring your own barista coffee from one of the wonderful Fremantle cafes) and the show begins at 10.30am, running for one hour. Afterwards take advantage of the café’s next door (Urban Winery and D’Angelos or further afield) to catch up with friends and make it a great day out!
Tickets are $25 and are available at www.fremantletheatrecompany.com

Our Space
Fremantle Theatre Company is now at home in Freo's own Victoria Hall on High Street . We can now open our doors to our new audience and begin to offer professional arts training from the city centre, for all.
Each of our courses are truly invigorated by the old bones and inviting space of this grand theatre.
The continued residency will allow the company to properly support the development of works with new voices along side the work of more established artists.
The space will make exploration into dance, theatre, music and film far more readily available to the local community and offer a truly sustainable practice for artist keen to work from their own shores, here in WA.
Boasting a newly outfitted Education Space and Rehearsal Room, our Downstairs Ready Room, the Victoria Stage and Hall, as well as company office spaces, the venue will act as an incubator to all of the works that we hope to bring to Fremantle.
