To celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025, Brisbane’s La Boite Theatre has announced a three-month play-reading series featuring some of the most significant works staged by the company over the last 10 decades.

The La Boite Encores series will showcase 10 significant past productions. This is not quite one for every decade of the company’s existence, given that the early days of La Boite were focused on international, often British, works, but will comprise plays that have resonated with audiences and artists alike and helped put La Boite on the Australian theatre map.
