Sacrilege Productions
Sacrilege Productions was a queer political theatre company founded in 2015 by Joshua Coles-Braun, Elena Berg, Maddie Woods and Kerry Lane. The eclectic production style integrated elements of cabaret, fetish performance, drag and burlesque with scripted theatre, and rapidly built a enthusiastic fan following.
The company’s first production, A Sanctimonious Celebration of Drag and S&M, was staged as part of the 2016 Dunedin Fringe Festival. Jasper Ririnui joined the company as a co-producer in 2017, replacing Coles-Braun, Berg and Woods. The company was active until 2020, during which time it staged ten original plays written by Kerry Lane, and produced the popular cabaret series Locked, Cocked and Ready to Rock! in addition to various standalone and festival events.
Little Scorpion Productions
Little Scorpion Productions was an independent theatre company founded and directed by Kerry Lane. The company was active between 2015 and 2019, and received critical acclaim for its large-scale, immersive productions in unconventional spaces.
The company also worked closely with local high schools, instituting an internship programme that offered teenagers the chance to learn from professional mentors while working backstage on productions.
