Struggling with the uncertainty of her future and a stalled acting career, Gia wants to play Ophelia one last time. But when a disastrous acting residency sends this dream spiraling out of control, she has to reckon with herself, and her identity as a woman and an artist.

Heartbreaking and darkly comic, Gia Ophelia invites audiences on a remarkable trek from the highs of acting school to the lows of womanhood and authenticity. This award-winning solo work is an emotional rollercoaster that explores sexism, ageism, the arts and growing up as a woman through tight quips, high energy and devastating reflection.

Gia is growing up, aging out, and ready to take on Ophelia one last time. This time, she’s going to get it right. She has to.

Winner of the Emerging Artist Award and a finalist for Best in Theatre at Sydney Fringe Festival 2025, Gia Ophelia brings together a team of Sydney and Canberra early-career artists for its ACT debut, after an acclaimed season at KXT on Broadway.
