● 2026 Season
A Yearly Ensemble Production
A year long devising ensemble comprised of Young People aged 11-17 and directed by professional theatremakers.
Death of a Junior Salesman
A potentially illegal, proudly chaotic, and brutally honest reimagining — made through the eyes of Young People who’ve had enough of being told to act their age.
Yearly Ensemble dismantles the generational dream — the monument to midlife misery — and rebuilds it with humour and rage. Between the milk and cheese, they ask: why are adults so obsessed with telling us how to live when they’re the ones who seem lost?
Death of a Junior Salesman is a messy reflection of growing up in a frame of mind that keeps holding them back.
Directed by Natalie Rose, Jasper Lee-Lindsay & Callan Purcell
