Thundering Productions is a Gold Coast-based independent theatre & film company run by Mikayla Maree Melo and Jack Lovett. We specialise in comedy, and have a particular passion for new writing.
We run an annual Scratch Night in the Gold Coast, in which local writers submit excerpts of their plays to be showcased as live readings, and at the end of the night, the writers compete for the audience vote on which play they’d most like to see produced in full. “The Heartbreak Club” – by Kate Paraskevos – was the winner of our 2025 Scratch Night, and we’re so excited to debut this show as part of this year’s Anywhere Festival!
Our previous productions include newsroom comedy “Live in Five”, wedding farce “What the Rabbi Saw”, a collection of comedy one-act plays, and locally written comedy murder mystery “The Soup From Nobody”.
