about us
who we are
To anyone outside the performing arts industry, our name is going to appear quite abstract. Allow us to explain what "Chookas" means. Legend has it that the word Chookas derives from the complete term ‘Tio Tio Tio Chookasi’ loosely meaning ‘With hear & sole. May you always play to a full house’. Chookasi was derived during the days of the ‘Halls’. At a time when it was considered a delicacy to have a meal of chook and it could cost almost a good weeks pay, unless you were lucky enough to be in digs that had them in the back yard.
Ok, so thats one version.. it seems everybody has one. One such version has it that saying 'Break a leg' sounds bad, so 'chookas' was much better. The term seem to be almost uniquely Australian.
