Creating Experiences

Connecting Communities

Through touring to an ever-expanding network of locations around regional, remote and rural Australia, we ensure that audiences can experience diverse & innovative professional live performance. With the CST Screening Room and digital theatrical experiences we now bring these some outstanding artists into the homes on devices of audiences everywhere.

Working with over 120 venue and festival partners, we bring together people from across the country to connect with original local stories and theatrical works in the venues, centres, and places they hold dear. We also produce regular forums and industry initiatives that help bring together theatre makers and creatives, contributing to a strong, diverse and vibrant theatre culture.

Rovers

Aunty Rox and Barb are back, and they’re faster, funnier, and fiercer than ever before. Based on the lives, and the inspirations of two great performers, Rovers captures the same spirit, honesty, and hilarity as the original stage production, with Rox and Barb unleashed in beautiful Queensland to riff on age, love, and comforts big and small.

A Migrant’s Son

Igniting memories of a story that millions of Australians can relate to, Michaela Burger pays tribute to her Greek migrant family and hard-working, fun loving larrikin father Luke who defied all odds. A Migrant’s Son will return to screens (and stages) in 2023. Watch it now in The Screening Room.

What They’re Saying

The adaptation of children's books, into plays has a strong and amazing history in Australia. Antonia Pesenti and Hilary Bell's 'Alphabetical Sydney: All Aboard! is stunning. The incredible humour, dance, singing, stagecraft, and digital visuals had the audience jumping from their seats!

Susanne Garvay, Children's Book Association of AustraliaALPHABETICAL SYDNEY: ALL ABOARD!

it’s a show which fascinates the onlooker into small wonders. As crisp and clear as a frosty night, it is a theatrical experience of bone-warming depth and of hope.

Reviews by JudithTHE END OF WINTER

If you want your kids to have fun at the theatre and fall for all its magic, get them to a Listies show as soon as possible… Nobody else makes Shakespeare this fun.

Ben Neutze, Daily ReviewHAMLET: PRINCE OF SKIDMARK

A journey towards choosing escape, whilst still wrapped in despair and hope. Captivating performances by the ensemble cast – an acting masterclass, totally engaging and thought provoking.

Lynn Belvedere, Sydney Arts GuideTHEM

The team put on a wonderful performance at the Roxy last night, the cast performed with great energy, skill, and engagement. The audience was enthralled.

A very high quality show with exceptional production values. I have great trust in the quality of Critical Stages work.
