The PumpHouse: Songs for Nobodies

Date: October 9th, 2025 - October 19th, 2025

Where: The PumpHouse

STAR POWER TIMES FIVE! Songs For Nobodies requires a unique singer and actress who can transform into ten different characters – five of them legendary singers. The iconic Jackie Clarke fits the bill perfectly for Joanna Murray Smith’s unusual, cleverly crafted script.

Five very different women meet five equally diverse divas in a series of vignettes that give a tantalising insight into all their lives, with excerpts of songs made famous by Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Billie Holliday and Maria Callas. Well-known musician Penny Dodd accompanies Jackie Clarke on piano.

Directed by Janice Finn, whose experience moulds this extraordinary show into an entertainment masterpiece!
