Hello!
Theatre Travels is a Sydney-Based Production Company, creating on Gadigal Land, and a nation-wide Reviewing Platform.
Theatre Travels Productions fit into one, or all, of our 3 primary focus areas:
-
We specifically seek to produce World, Australian or State specific premieres. We believe in bringing the best of the best from around the world to our audiences and actively see as much theatre as possible from around Australia and the World to ensure that we are always on the look out for the next beautiful piece to share. We also have a passion for giving new female-identifying voices a stage for their new plays, especially if they're Aussie!
-
We prioritize stories that highlight female characters that are whole, authentic and truthful in their depiction of both the trials and triumphs of being a modern woman.
-
Finally, and arguably most importantly, we tell stories that serve as a call to action. We call this cause-focused theatre. We believe that Art can be used a way to start conversation and focus on topics, situations and circumstances that may challenge or call one to question their beliefs prior to the show.
We have been creating theatre since November 2018 and as at Feb 2023, have produced over 20 shows and toured to multiple cities around Australia. We have worked with over 150 Artists, curated 2 festivals and we are JUST GETTING STARTED.
Theatre Travels is also one of Australia's most active reviewing platforms. Over 70% of our reviewers are Artists in the industry and as such, we see our site as a 'peer review' site. We simply love theatre and want to help you choose what shows to see so that you love it as much as we do!
This all started as just a simple instagram account and has grown and grown since.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
