Sessions & Tickets
Three females dressed in black, orange, and blue are positioned in an unconventional pyramid in front of a bottle green backdrop. From bottom to top: the first female acts as the base of the pyramid. On her right, the second female leans backwards, counterbalanced by the third female with her left arm extended above her as she stares directly into the camera.

Imagine a world where plans gone awry spark magical moments, surprising discoveries, incredible resolutions, and ridiculous conclusions.

A Theatre of Mistakes is a happy collision of circus skills and poignant performance.

NICA's 2024 Cert IV ensemble takes you through a head-tilting show where nonsense reigns supreme as they tumble, climb, ride, slide, vault, and fly through their lopsided take on a comedy of errors done right!
