With the help of our Jacques Cousteau-esque narrator, you will be taken on a journey beneath the surface to meet a plethora of beautiful, wild sea creatures - all the while following the path of a plastic bag as it gets carried to the very depths of the ocean. Winner - Best Cabaret - Melbourne Fringe 2018 2019 - "Creatures Lost" Cat's job title: Costume Creator "Creatures Lost" is a cabaret about animals that have been driven to extinction and those on the verge of extinction. Packed full of original songs, Creatures Lost is a stark reminder that we need to look after the animals we have and remember the ones we have lost. Nominee for Best Cabaret - Melbourne Fringe 2019 2021 - "The Broken Mill" Original Cabaret Musical Cat's job title: Performer and Songwriter In June 2021 Cat alongside the Picked Last For Sport team performed their original cabaret musical "The Broken Mill" at "Chapel off Chapel" over two successful nights. All music for this production was written by Cat, musical director Sean Sully and producer Sarah Wall. This production was a part of 2021 Melbourne Cabaret Festival. "You are cordially invited to The Broken Mill, a tumble down little cabaret theatre where wicked things happen nightly. With performances by the devilish matriarch Mama and her troupe of ‘children’ you are in for a spectacular show but beware, for Mama may not be all that she appears to be. The Broken Mill, inspired by shows like Moulin Rouge, Cabaret and Chicago, is an original cabaret by the award winning team at Picked Last For Sport, which tells a different tale of tragedy, clowns, fire, lovers, absinthe and murder."
