Women of the Riverina

From our ancient past to the frantic now. Who are the women of the Riverina?

Women of the Riverina is an award-winning powerful, collaborative production developed in a series of community workshops by women across Wiradjuri Country.

Building on the success of sold out shows in Sydney and Wagga Wagga in 2024, Voices of Women is presenting a new regional tour in 2026!

The tour includes community storymaking workshops in Albury, Tumut and Junee. Book for the workshops or shows at the links below.

WOMEN OF THE RIVERINA ON TOUR: BOOK NOW

Think you know Riverina women? Think again.

Come on a bold journey through time with Women of the Riverina — where story, movement, music and film collide. From ancient times through wartime resilience to the frantic of today, these are the voices you haven’t heard — until now.

Ten original stories written by local women burst to life — punchy, funny, raw and deeply moving — brought to the stage by outstanding actors and movement artists. Award-winning Australian composer Elizabeth Jigalin’s evocative score weaves through striking new film by Noni Carroll, made especially for this production, creating a rich and unforgettable theatrical experience.

Set inside the historic beauty of Tumut Montreal Theatre, Junee Atheneum Theatre and the Albury Pumphouse, each venue becomes part of the storytelling — intimate, atmospheric, alive.

Arrive early, meet the artists, and enjoy a drink before the show — then settle in for a performance that will stay with you long after the lights fade.

One night only in each town.

The script won the Australian Writers Guild (AWGIE) Award for Community Theatre 2026.
