STEP INSIDE THE THEATREDOME FOR THE ULTIMATE IMPROV BATTLE 
PREMIERING AUGUST 4 AT 7.30AM ON 9GO! AND 9NOW 

Step inside the TheatreDome for an exhilarating battle of wits and theatrical fun, premiering weekdays from August 4 at 7.30am on 9Go! and 9Now.
 
TheatreDome is an electrifying new series bringing a fresh wave of creativity and fun to children’s television. Breaking new ground, TheatreDome reworks the traditional improv format to resonate with young Aussies, standing out as Australia’s first improvisational shows for children.
 
Aspiring drama students step inside the TheatreDome for a series of hilarious improv sketch battles. Guided by professional mentors known as “The Oracles”, two teams, The Fates and The Muses, go head-to-head within the mysterious TheatreDome, under the watchful eye of The Great Overseer. The ultimate goal? To be crowned the undisputed champion of the TheatreDome!
 
Leading The Fates team is Ashlee Lollback, and leading The Muses is Jack McGirr. They are the Oracles who bring a sibling-like rivalry to each episode, with their competitive nature and friendship shining through. While it’s technically a competition, they can’t help but support and cheer on the opposing side. 
 
Tomas Pocilujko steps into the role of The Great Overseer, presiding over the TheatreDome with an insatiable appetite for entertainment. Tomas shared his excitement, stating, "Taking on this role has been an absolute blast. I've thoroughly enjoyed the freedom to improvise and play within this theatrical world, something very rare in television. It’s the perfect blend of the theatre and TV worlds."
 
Geoff Cooper, Executive Producer and Programming Manager at Nine Queensland, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring TheatreDome to Australian screens, a show that breaks new ground in children’s television. This program showcases the immense young talent we have, offering an explosion of laughter as it not only entertains but challenges. 
 
“We’ve made sure that a spirit of collaboration, creativity and problem solving is pivotal to the format and its development. Better yet, viewers can play along at home, shout out their guesses and cheer for their favourite teams – it’s perfect for the whole family.”
 
Gather round, thespians, for the ultimate theatrical battle, when TheatreDome premieres August 4 and then goes to air weekdays at 7.30am on 9Go! and 9Now.
