SHIT LIFE CRISIS Temporary Poster A3 Landscape.png

​Life. It’s raw, it’s real, and there’s karaoke.

​

Shit Life Crisis is a hilarious new karaoke play by Olivia Hannah (Braids) about how no one tells you that survival turns your life inside out, especially when everyone seems to be so much better at living than you. 

​

Grace smashed cancer with the constant support from her ride-or-die Abbie, but victory has since started to feel like a bad joke. She tried, like really tried, to climb out of a pit of streaming and scrolling, following Abbie's the 100 step plan to being alive, but no one ever tells you about the fear of it all.
This darkly hilarious karaoke theatre show cranks up sing-along-bops that weave between Grace’s broken pieces as she throws a personal memorial for her full-of-life chemo buddy. 

​

Raw and real, join us to belt along together to the soundtrack of life. It’s the most fun you’ll have questioning life, death, and everything in between.

​

Made by award-winning theatre company and creators of challenging & camp nights out Silent Uproar (A Super Happy Story About Feeling Super Sad, Dead Girls Rising)

Written by Olivia Hannah and made by Silent Uproar.​​

Silent Uproar presents Shit Life Crisis, a sing-along karaoke show about the journey of survival in the face of illness. We welcome audiences to sing, laugh, and cry along with this music-infused production.
This production will be especially poignant with anyone who has experienced illness and grief in all forms.
We will be joined by a local support service for performances if you wish to speak to someone about the show, story, and themes during your time with us.
If you are joining us for our June Polar Bear Show [Date], we encourage audiences to stay after the production to celebrate the end of our tour with a karaoke party. Free to any Shit Life Crisis ticket holders, with a pay-what-you-decide door fee for those joining afterwards, we invite you to celebrate and sing with the cast and crew.
