Follow the story of 5 friends and how they handle a cancer diagnosis.
We offer an award-winning educational reading & listening experience which explores this topic from different angles through laughter AND tears but also lessons learned along the way.

Our Story

Whilst undergoing cancer treatments, Briohne Sykes and Dee Handyside separately created a script and musical album which covered the experience.
They are now combined as an entertaining and educational experience which donates 38% of proceeds to Australian Cancer Research Foundation.

We acknowledge the collaboration and assistance of Griffith University in the research and development of our educational handout 'Not Sure What to Say & Do?'
Express yourself, Enjoy yourself & Educate yourself while raising funds for Cancer Research

OUR AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE OF 'SILK RAGS THE MUSICAL' WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AT MONTO, QLD ON 2 & 3 MARCH 2024!
An in-expensive production for your community Theatre Group.. Minimal props & a small cast size challenges cast & crew whilst entertaining and educating audiences. Your Theatre Group will have donated to cancer research.
