BSSC PRODUCTION: TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!

Still Here is a contemporary Australian jukebox musical set in a regional town during a high school reunion, years after five close friends last saw each other. Once inseparable as teenagers, their bond fractured as adulthood pulled them in different directions β€” career ambition, parenthood, grief, distance, and the realities of staying behind.

Our cast and crew have been putting in an incredible amount of work to make sure it's an amazing show! We would love our school community to support the team and come along to one of the performances.
