About
Established in 1978 on Gadigal Country, Sydney Theatre Company is one of the world’s largest, most vibrant, prolific and impactful not-for-profit theatre companies. Situated near the waters of Sydney Harbour, the Company presents an annual season of productions and programs at our home venues, The Wharf Theatres and Roslyn Packer Theatre at Walsh Bay, and as a resident company of Sydney Opera House. Our annual season is curated by our current Artistic Director and Co-CEO, Mitchell Butel, who began his tenure in November 2024. The Company also regularly tours work, both nationally and internationally. Our work regularly plays to more than 400,000 audience members annually.
Sydney Theatre Company offers audiences an exciting mix of Australian plays and music theatre, bold interpretations of the classic repertoire and the best of contemporary international writing. The Company produces brilliant theatre that connects with, inspires, stimulates and entertains our audiences. STC is committed to the engagement between the imagination of our artists and our audiences and the development of the theatrical art form.
Sydney Theatre Company’s Education programs provide enriching and unique opportunities for students, teachers and lifelong learners to engage with theatre through student workshops, backstage tours, Work Experience Week, Staged Readings, and dedicated Schools Day performances held throughout the year that include post-show Q & As with cast and creatives.
STC Education produces a comprehensive range of digital resources to accompany each Schools Day production in order to aid teaching and learning. These resources include the On Cue booklet, Design Sketchbooks, and much more.
These resources are designed to make engaging with theatre easier and more meaningful beyond the performance itself, building a stronger connection between what you see on stage and your own creative learning.
We hope to see you at the theatre soon.
