Curious to see what’s been happening behind the high fences?

Join those intrepid tour guides, Violet & Rose, for a theatrical, guided experience around the newly rebuilt La Mama HQ. Combining performance with factual information, peek into all the nooks and crannies of the old and new spaces, with some fun and nonsense along the way.

What does Melbourne’s favourite little theatre look like now? Has it all changed? Is there still a fireplace? Stairs? Remember the creaky floorboards and the trapdoor? Who was that famous actor who worked there? There’s a lift?

Share old memories and ponder many yet to be created.
