Coming Soon: The Curious Op Shop
Op shops are full of curiosities, have you ever wondered about the story behind the item? The Curious Op Shop explores the histories of the treasures discarded in op shops. Each item will lead to a new story, discovering the tales and characters behind the items.
The Curious Op Shop will premiere at the Black Box Theatre in Nambour December 2nd, 5th, and 6th.
Tickets on Sale in the Spring 2026

The Curious Op Shop Development Workshops
Over the course of three days in April and one day in June, workshop participants aged 8-13 years old met with Catbird Theatre Company’s team of professional theatre artists at the Noosaville Library. They were led through a series of theatre games and devising exercises to help develop the groundwork for the show. Participants discovered and created the past stories of selected items from an op shop. Catbird Theatre will develop those stories further to create a full-length play.
The workshops were free to participants. Participants will receive recognition for the work they did.
Our partners for this production are Noosa Library, Making Lives Matter, Bloomhill Cancer Care, and The Old Ambulance Station.
Supported by the Sunshine Coast Council through the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government, through Arts Queensland, and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
