The Comprehensive A-Z of Missing Persons Australia

WA Youth Theatre Company (WAYTCo) proudly presents 24-year old award-winning playwright and company alumni Grace Chow's ambitious new play, THE COMPREHENSIVE A-Z OF MISSING PERSONS AUSTRALIA. The work explores why so many Australians go missing each year (55,000) and gives voice to 800 missing persons listed in the Australian Missing Persons Register.

Directed by Artistic Director Amelia Burke, A-Z stars a large cast of youth performers – some of Boorloo’s most dedicated emerging actors. Together the cast and professional creative team will work across disciplines, utilising physical theatre, verbatim, and multimedia. Stellar creatives include Fiona Bruce (Set & Costume Deign), Matthew Erren (Lighting Design), David Stewart (Sound Design) and Roly Skender (AV Design).

Inherent in the work is a call to better look out for one another, as family members, friends and neighbours. Join us in addressing this unspoken crisis, one that disproportionately affects our young people, and in no better venue than the Liberty!

CAST: Alana Dooley, Cianna Gallen, Rachel Abelha, Zoe Garciano, Sharni Andersson, Caleb Macauley, Jaimee Whirledge, Ben Ginbey, Clea Purkis, Rali Maynard.

AGE SUITABILITY: Recommended for ages 15+, Adult Themes
