Little Cup Productions was started by Romney Hamilton and Mel Jensen in 2014 (formerly Gamut Theatre Co).
Our first production Love Song by John Kolvenbach was described as “irresistibly charming“ by Suzy Goes See. Stage Whispers’ reviewer Stephen Carnell said “After experiencing a season of mediocrity in Sydney theatre, this play restored my faith in the stage as a place to reveal important ideas and powerful emotions.“
We were thrilled to bring Love Song back to the stage at the 2022 Sydney Fringe Festival, where we were voted one of the top five theatre shows of the festival.
