2024 in Revue
20 Dec

As 2024 draws to a close, we're excited to reflect on a truly memorable year for ORiGiN Theatrical! From celebrating our 20th anniversary to expanding our classical library with the prestigious Boosey & Hawkes catalogue, and showcasing remarkable professional productions and new creative works, this year has been filled with milestones and inspiration.
In this email, we'll take you through the highlights of 2024 and offer a glimpse into the exciting productions and projects coming in 2025. Thank you for being part of our journey--here's to many more years of theatrical brilliance!

ORiGiN™ Theatrical's 20th anniversary!
This year we celebrated ORiGiN™ Theatrical's 20th Anniversary!! To mark this exciting milestone we wrapped a few of our favourite things up in brown paper packages tied up with string! We ran a competition to see who could share some photographic memories of past ORiGiN™ Theatrical productions with us and we were overwhelmed by the wonderful memories. Those who participated received one of the brown paper packages as a gesture of our gratitude.

Our Classical library is expanding!
ORiGiN™ Theatrical now represents the Boosey & Hawkes catalogue!
The world's largest specialist classical music publishing company including the works of major 20th century composers and leading international classical composers of today.
  Some of the major 20th century composers include Stravinsky, Copland, Britten, Bartók, Shostakovich, Prokofieff, Khachaturian, Strauss and Rachmaninoff.

Living With Bipolar -- Published by ORiGiN™ Imprint
One of our talented Australian playwrights, Xavier Coy, this year released his first book, published by ORiGiN Imprint.
https://www.originimprint.com/living-with-bipolar
Living With Bipolar is an in depth creative and illustrated exploration into bipolar disorder. Raw and bleakly funny, this book is a unique experience. It tells the story of someone with the disease through the symptoms of hypomanic and depressive states and ultimately how they are best managed from lived experience.
Xavier Coy is the creator of the plays Fighting and The Great Emu War available for purchase and production licensing.
