Upside Down Fantasyland is a raw and poetic exploration of Troy Rogers journey from the shadows of his past to the light of his future. 

 

Through heartfelt poetry, powerful songs, and evocative prose, Troy vulnerably takes the stage to share his experiences of growing up in out-of-home care, shaped by the trauma of drug-related struggles and a life with his grandmother due to his parents' substance abuse.

 

In this deeply personal performance, Troy delves into the complexities of his past with honesty and courage, while balancing the heavy material with humour and love.

 

Upside Down Fantasyland offers an unflinching look at resilience, healing, and the bittersweet nature of growing up in a world turned upside down.
