What's On 2026

Goodwood Theatre & Studios Present
13 to 30 August 2026
This August, Goodwood Theatre & Studios invites audiences to experience theatre differently with the launch of COMEBACK 2026, an exciting festival where audiences are invited to see two incredible shows in one night, enjoy a home-cooked meal and drink on us, and connect through conversation in a shared theatrical experience.
These are productions that have already captivated audiences, award-winning works, sold-out seasons, and unforgettable performances that deserve a second life. COMEBACK exists to celebrate exceptional independent theatre and bring it back to the stage for new audiences to discover.
Running across three curated weeks in August 2026, COMEBACK reimagines the traditional theatre-going experience as something immersive, social, and deeply human.
COMEBACK is proudly supported by CreateSA.
THE FULL PROGRAM IS NOW LIVE...


SALA EXHIBITION: BIANCA JOANNA BULIGA
1 August to 1 October 2026
Opening Hours: Mon & Wed 11am to 2pm & Sat 3-5pm.
"HEALING OUT LOUD began with something I couldn't keep carrying like the grief and the stigma I experience and sometimes create within myself. I've lived my whole life as an undiagnosed neurodivergent person and this project is the ongoing and very confronting process of unmasking.
My approach is based in therapeutic photography techniques and self-portraiture. Each image begins with a feeling I am sitting with and the act of creating it is part of how I move through it, so the photograph is both the process and the outcome. My work is intuitive as I follow what the moment is asking of me and let the image reveal itself rather than forcing it into shape.
This is a bridge for anyone still trying to make sense of their own mind, navigating a world that accommodates them in theory but not always in practice while it is also asking viewers to look closely, beyond the scripts of media portrayal to ask questions rather than assume. I believe stigma thrives behind closed doors, closed minds, and closed mouths, but the moment we start to speak, we open the door to understanding, and with understanding, inclusivity will follow. There is a tendency, when navigating the world as a disabled person, to manage other people's discomfort and frame our lives in ways that reassure rather than challenge. But doesn't discomfort have its own accountability?"

SALA EXHIBITION: PAT SMITH
3 to 31 August 2026
Opening Hours: Mon & Wed 11am to 2pm & Sat 3-5pm.
Body of Becoming (and Other Desires) is the first major solo exhibition by Adelaide artist Pat Smith, bringing together a vibrant body of work that explores queer identity, colour and the ways we choose to be seen.
Working primarily in painting, Pat combines abstracted male forms with bold colour and geometric composition to create artworks that reward a closer look. From a distance, the works appear as striking arrangements of shape and pattern; up close, they reveal bodies, intimacy and moments drawn from lived queer experience.
Body of Becoming (and Other Desires) marks a personal and creative milestone. It is an invitation to experience work that is colourful, quietly subversive and unapologetically present, bringing visibility, curiosity and connection into the gallery, and beyond.

Red Phoenix Theatre Company
22 to 31 October 2026 at 7.30pm
The Thunderbolt ignites when a wealthy bachelor and owner of a brewery dies—without a will—and his estranged, bickering siblings scramble for a fortune they believe is theirs. But when a secret daughter steps forward, the gloves come off.
Arthur Wing Pinero’s razor-sharp comedy crackles with inheritance intrigue, family feuds, and moral reckonings. A biting, brilliant Edwardian satire that still hits home today.
Don’t miss this deliciously dramatic battle of bloodlines and bank balances!
Directed by Libby Drake
