Be the first to experience some of the country's finest future shows as they develop.
Yes, the program that brought you the delicious likes of Trophy Boys, STUCK, The Joy of Text, FLICK, No Former Performer has Performed this Performance Before and many many more is BACK in 2026 with 52 exciting new risk-taking, boundary-pushing, thought-provoking WORKS IN PROGRESS!
Get in at the ground floor with some of the country's finest future shows! Be part of their development process as these unpolished gems strut their wonderful stuff for you trail-blazers, you thought leaders, you divinely curious arts champions, you.
And give yourself the warm and fuzzies for knowing that you're supporting the creation of fine new work while giving artists space to test ideas, to develop across the run, to succeed admirably, and sometimes to fail spectacularly. In La Mama EXPLORATIONS we celebrate it all, and invite you to join us in this most crucial part of a new work's life.
Tix are only $20 across the board, every cent goes to the artists you're supporting (100%!), and each showing goes for just three nights - so if there's something you want to check out - best hop to it early.
With 52 showings there's definitely something for everyone, so peruse the program and book an Exploration or six. It's happening right across Winter, so bring some friends, get cosy with La Mama hospitality and the famous La Mama raffle with each showing.
