Holland Brooks – One Of Us

Holland Brooks is a multi award winning actor, singer, musician, composer and playwright based in Perth, Western Australia. Holland was successful in receiving a Small Grant towards her upcoming comedy play One Of Us.

One Of Us is a heartfelt naturalist comedy detailing the lives of 5 young lesbians in a WA conversion therapy camp, presented at The Blue Room Theatre as part of the 2024 Annual Season with 15 shows, April 9th-27th. One Of Us provides a seminal opportunity for queer youth to see themselves represented both on and offstage, with the work created by a team entirely comprised of queer women/NB people.

Alongside the show’s presentation, the team are engaging with organisations such as Freedom Centre to host workshops on queer theatre-making, writing and storytelling for young queer people, encouraging queer youth to engage in the arts while providing opportunities for them to develop professionally and personally in a safe and supportive environment.
