Quirky Productions is a Melbourne based theatrical and entertainment company incorporating the creative, production, and staging talents of James Rooney & Tamara Finch.   

Quirky Productions is committed to generating work for the immensely talented people they have met in their many years of producing, directing and choreographing theatre, and at the same time producing high quality, affordable entertainment for its audiences. Tamara and James set up Quirky Productions to create opportunities not just for onstage talent, but for people with skills in all areas of theatrical productions.

Offering an opportunity for professional and non-professional production teams, designers, and technical staff to work side-by-side, and to share the creative experience, Quirky Productions creates a unique environment that enriches both the professional and non-professional participants. Quirky also looks to cast some of Australia’s headline theatre performers, in order to pass on their great knowledge to performers from Melbourne’s flourishing non-professional Musical Theatre scene.

Working with the best in the business and paying a fee to all cast and production personnel is a vital aspect of Quirky Productions.

Having successfully staged the musical production of  ‘Zanna Don’t!’ as part of the 2009 Midsumma Festival, for which it received a Greenroom Awards nomination for set design, Quirky are very excited to be presenting the smash hit La Cage Aux Folles for a limited season at the National Theatre, St.Kilda in March 2012, starring John O’May and David Rogers-Smith.

La Cage Aux Folles centres on a St.Tropez drag-show nightclub owned by Georges and his long time love, Albin, who headlines as the glamorous Zaza. Together, the couple have raised Georges’ son (the product of a one night fling),  but when young Jean-Michel announces his engagement to the daughter of a bigoted, right wing politician and invites her family to meet his ‘normal’ parents, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly !  Featuring the ‘notorious and dangerous Cagelles’ and packed with such musical classics as 'I Am What I Am', 'The Best of Times' and of course 'La Cage Aux Folles', LA CAGE is a touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together... stay fabulous... and above all else, stay true to themselves!
