Jetpack Theatre Collective

We do immersive, interactive, improvised, and otherwise interesting theatre. We love you xoxo

We are: Bryce Halliday, Clemmie Williams, Finn Davis, Jack Ballhausen, Jim Fishwick, Kirsty McGuire, Lucinda Vitek, Noni Hollands, Robert Boddington, and Stephanie Bennett. "The Jetpack Collective is quickly building a name for itself as a strange old man who runs a fantastical, hidden away toy shop down a pokey cobbled lane off the high street, and you’ve no idea how he makes rent, but he has a spinning bow-tie and a fabulous, curly smile. Pea Green Boat is an inspired pick from his highest, dustiest and most exciting shelf, and all the kids are rightly going cooooooooool." - Honi Soit on Pea Green Boat. http://honisoit.com/2015/11/gently-out-to-sea-jetpack-collectives-pea-green-boat/

"It requires immense boldness to push past the commonplace and to try something rarely done before. Jetpack Theatre Collective do just that, with chutzpah and artistic flair." - Upstaged Reviews on Pea Green Boat. http://upstagedreviews.weebly.com/reviews/pea-green-boat

"It is nonsense. Pure, breathtaking, exciting nonsense. ... The conception is marvellous and the execution equally thrilling." - Sydney Arts Guide on Pea Green Boat. http://www.sydneyartsguide.com.au/jet-pack-theatre-collective-presents-pea-green-boat/

"brings great hope to Sydney's theatrical and artistic future" - Absolute Theatre on Grim. http://www.absolutetheatre.com.au/ #!Sydney-review-Jetpack%E2%80%99s-Grim/c1kod/554d8a530cf21fee137950a4

"Nobody talks about this show without interjecting over others; eyes are wide; everybody trembles a little; you foam at the mouth." - Honi Soit on Where Your Eyes Don't Go. http://honisoit.com/2015/01/what-a-larp-what-a-plunge-suds-and-the-jetpack-collective-present-where-your-eyes-dont-go/

"with an uncanny ability to portray authenticity in every scene." - suzygoessee on Between Two Waves. http://suzygoessee.com/2015/03/04/review-between-two-waves-sydney-university-dramatic-society/
