Booming into the studio this week, we have the multi-talented, Stephanie Long. As a Brisbane/Gold Coast performer, Steph lives her best life in the gigging scene - touring with many cover bands and performing locally. With performing arts her full-time career, Steph also reveals to us her exciting return to musical theatre with THAT Production Company's upcoming production of 'Tick Tick Boom'. Ticking over at Ipswich's Civic Centre, Steph shares her excitement about joining a stellar cast and gives us some advice on what to expect from this must-see show!
Scene 37 unravels much to do about the arts scene. With a musical theatre degree and from a family of artists, Steph has 'performing' in her blood. We chat all about music, and Steph shares her big belief in living your truth and finding happiness and contentment in life. This has been a massive journey for the South East QLD performer, and she takes us through some of her biggest life lessons during her years as an artist. We talk about the importance of consistent training, stage fright, the silver linings of lockdown, how to handle being a perfectionist and the importance of community in the arts. Too often, people are caught up with viewing other people's success as your failure, but Steph is a big fan of celebrating each other and finding ways to work on the same team. She leaves us with the simple but very true message - and you'll have to tune in to hear more!

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 - 34min - 37 - Scene 36 - Alisdair Macindoe
Pirouetting into the studio this week is the incredibly talented Alisdair Macindoe from Australiasian Dance Collective. We talk about his upcoming production 'Forgery', which transports us into the future with a performance generated entirely by a computer! And Alisdair is the man behind the computer and lets us know how it all works
With an interesting background in creative programming, 'Forgery' allows human genius and computer smarts to combine and create something brilliant. Presented as part of Brisbane Festival and partnering with Australasian Dance Collective, learn more about how technology is incorporating with performance - and if you're into dance, this is the episode to boogie too!
Scene 36 unravels how Alisdair created a program that gives computer-generated prompts to six talented dancers who then improvise their way through a new show every night. We chat about how the team has worked with the Australasian Dance Collective dancers to build their improvisation skills in the rehearsal room and to give them the confidence to step on stage without a clue about what they're doing. Alisdair, Chelsea and Brooke then take a deep dive into the moral dilemma of artificial intelligence in the creative field and what the future of tech and art could look like. This is a mind-blowing episode that's not to be missed!

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 - 20min - 35 - Scene 34 - Jess Bunz and Bianca Bality
From puppeteering to producing and playwriting, The Naughty Corner Collective have done it all! This week we sit down with two of the collective's members to chat about their upcoming production 'Maze', playing at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

These two powerhouse women have worked in Brisbane's most iconic theatres and have lots of stories and insight to share.
Scene 34 unravels all you need to know about managing your artistic journey, developing new work and a touch of Greek mythology. We go into detail about The Naughty Corner Collective's original production, 'Maze' produced in conjunction with Dead Puppet Society. Jess and Bianca explain their process of developing a 20-minute production into a full-scale play. Working within a collective can come with its challenges, but Jess and Bianca have identified the features that make working with a group of creatives a fruitful venture instead of an infuriating one.

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 - 37min - 33 - Scene 32 - Lucas Stibbard
With over 20+ years in practice, Lucas Stibbard has finally joined us in the studio to dispel the many myths surrounding the arts industry, and teach us how to perfect the work/life balance when you're an artist. As part of The Escapists (a multi-disciplinary collective he co-founded), Lucas has dabbled in everything - from dramaturgy to directing, acting to producing. Having performed nationally and internationally, he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the arts, and this is a masterclass interview in storytelling and theatre-making.
Scene 32 unravels Lucas' endeavours as a multi-disciplinary artist, working with young people and the success of his critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning 'boy girl wall'. We chat about taking this production to America and the educational discussions and differences when it came to the text, as well as the importance of drama as an educational tool. We also take a look at Lucas' new work, '000 Things I Need To Tell You', which centres around raising a boy and deconstructing masculinity. Lucas also shares his experiences working with shake&stir on 'A Christmas Carol', his love of Brecht and post-dramatic theatre, and the importance of having other hobbies as an artist. This interview navigates the highs and lows of being a full-time artist, and how we can all keep theatre alive.

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 - 37min - 29 - Scene 28 - Jason Glenwright
Lights, camera, action... and design! This week on the Play Haus, we're chatting to lighting designer extraordinaire, Jason Glenwright. Now, if you are a local Brisbane theatre person (like we are), you would have no doubt seen Jason's work on many professional shows! He's worked with companies all over Southeast Queensland and has oodles of advice to offer to lighting designers, creatives and other theatre appreciators alike.
Scene 28 unravels all there is to know about design. Fun fact! Lighting designers generally don't program the lights. We learn that lighting design is a creative role where your job is to translate the script onto the stage and make sure everyone can be seen in the process. Jason explains his process when given a new script and tells us some lessons he has learnt along the way. Did you know that Jason is also a big fan of shopping centres? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out why!

Mon, 17 May 2021 - 35min - 20 - Scene 19 - Rosa Sottile
In this week's episode, we put our improv skills to the test with one of Brisbane’s best improv superstars, Rosa Sottile! As Co-Founder of Big Fork Theatre, Rosa and her team recognise the importance of improv in our Brisbane community, ensuring the theatre sport is accessible to every single art lover out there! Putting the community first, Big Fork aims to teach, entertain and bring joy to the local arts scene and we unpack how you can improve your acting skills in this art form!
Scene 19 unravels the wild world of improvisation and Rosa’s journey within it. She explains how Big Fork Theatre was formed, the basics of improvisation and how classes are run. Rosa encourages everyone to have a go at improv because no one is ‘boring’ and every single human who walks through Big Fork doors has a story to tell. However, running constant classes comes with its own challenges. Big Fork Theatre doesn’t currently have a home to call their own and Rosa chats about the company’s aim to create a theatre space that is wholly disabled accessible. With the help of a community fundraiser, the company hopes to raise $10,000 to put towards creating a hub for improv theatre. And if that weren't enough, Rosa shows us why she's best in the improv game... putting Brooke and Chelsea on the spot with an improv session of their own!

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 - 53min - 4 - Playhaus Trailer
From the makers who brought you Theatre Haus, comes our next venture which brings you behind the scenes and connects you with creatives worldwide. The show features discussions about issues that are important to you and all the tips and tricks from professionals to take you to the next level. Listen from your Haus, or wherever you stream your podcasts.
Brooke is a theatre enthusiast from the Gold Coast, halfway through her Master of Secondary Teaching. When she's not in a theatre, she's probably in Disneyland, planning a trip to Disneyland, or talking about Disneyland. Fun fact - Brooke's first musical was 'Greece is the Word' (not 'Grease', 'Greece').
Chelsea is an emerging performer, director, and playwright. Her aim is to focus on topics that society faces daily, even on world subjects that can sometimes be unnoticed including the social, political, and cultural issues in today's society. Just don't celebrate her success with balloons as she has a fear of them.
