Charlotte Otton is a Sydney-raised, Perth-based performer, writer and theatre maker, best known for her award-winning shows Let Me Finish., Feminah, and 30 Day Free Trial (with Andrew Sutherland). We chatted to Charlotte about the development of Let Me Finish., funded through the Drug Aware YCulture Metro program.

Scott McArdle is a Perth-based writer, director, actor and founder of independent theatre company, Second Chance Theatre. We chatted to Scott about his two Drug Aware YCulture Metro funded projects, the developments of both Laika: A Staged Radio Play (2017) and Josephine! (2018).

Part 2 continues from Part 1 of emerging Noongar and Greek actor Cezera Critti-Schnaars's interview. Continuing from chatting about her experience with Hecate, Cezera and Yoshika chat about the importance of representing normalcy, how Indigenous actors are often asked to act “more Black” and how Kadjin helps young and emerging Indigenous artists.

Cezera Critti-Schnaars is a young Noongar and Greek actor whose passion for acting started when she was very young. Back in February this year at Perth Festival, she starred in Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s production of Hecate, a reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth performed entirely in Noongar. In Part 1 of Cezera’s interview, we chatted to her about her high school days, playing Fleance in Hecate, Indigenous identity and the significance of Noongar language.

Zachary Sheridan is a force to be reckoned with. An emerging playwright from Adelaide who now calls Perth home, Zachary talks to Yoshika about his latest project I Feel Fine, being an eco-anxious youth and what we can do to help the climate crisis and addresses the negative online stereotypes that surround vegans and veganism.

Meet Charlotte Otton, the emerging powerhouse within Perth theatre.
