In A Moment began as a one act play - the story of a brief meeting between two very diferent individuals, and the bond they felt. Performed in both Sydney and Brisbane, it was clear that audiences had fallen in love with Sam and Laura - as had we - and so we embarked on the journey of creating the full length play you see today. It has been a decade long journey to reach the beautiful PIP Theatre stage tonight.
Aptly opening on Valentine’s Day, In A Moment is a story of fnding love and connection - sometimes where you least expect it. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to open your hearts to Sam and Laura - this is their story.
We hope you enjoy the show.

In A Moment began as a oneact play by Tammy Tresillian: a slice-of-life in which two very diferent characters meet & fnd common ground.
Tammy asked Tim Jackman to help bring the piece to the stage for the Short & Sweet Festival, after which Tim pestered her to write a full-length script.
When Tammy suggested they collaborate, fellow actors became co-writers, & this little play-that-could took fight.
Long-listed for the QTC Premier’s Drama Award, it was fnessed in conjunction with Playlab Theatre, before its debut at the 2021 Anywhere Theatre Festival. Thankyou to our families for their patience, Pip Theatre for their support, and to you for supporting local theatre.
