Garage Girls

Innovator, mechanic, unconventional member of the Lyceum Club, we envisage a spirited celebration of this 1920s woman.

This collaboration between The Shift Theatre and Three Birds Theatre is researching and developing a new theatrical work inspired by the life of Alice Anderson – founder of Victoria’s first all girl garage. Innovator, mechanic, unconventional member of the Lyceum Club, we envisage a spirited celebration of this 1920s woman. The development is generously supported by a Covid-19 Quick Response grant from the City of Melbourne. Seasons in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
