First Times is a creative development that explore moments from the lives of the Milk Crate Theatre Ensemble (who have experienced or at risk of experiencing homelessness), where they 'have' or 'haven't had' something for the first times. First Times is a showcase of the initial ideas and stories for the Company's 2017 major production.

First Times will investigate new artistic forms for telling the unique and diverse stories of the Milk Crate Theatre Ensemble Artists, in collaboration with Lee Wilson co-creator of Branch Nebula and Cristabel Sved, Artistic Director of Milk Crate Theatre. First Times is a part of Carriageworks' 'In Development' 2015 program.
