Griffin Theatre Company

For thirty years, Griffin Theatre Company has been Australia’s new writing theatre. The resident theatre company of the historic SBW Stables Theatre in Kings Cross, Griffin dedicates itself to the nurture, presentation and promotion of outstanding Australian playwriting and contemporary theatre. An engine-room for theatrical discovery, ingenuity and diversity, Griffin exists to bring playwrights and new writing for the stage to national and international attention. Having produced numerous groundbreaking plays since its establishment in 1979, Griffin continues to invest in artistic and audience development – with professional residencies for playwrights and directors, a workshop and commissions program, education and outreach projects and an annual program of works in development. Since 2004, Griffin Ambassadors is an annual access program for year 11 & 12 students. Offering a unique, in-depth engagement, it makes a significant contribution to the encouragement and education of the next generation of theatre-goers and theatre-makers.

Drawn from a range of schools across Sydney and united by a common interest – a passion for theatre, Griffin Ambassadors attend all Griffin and Griffin Independent productions for free throughout the year, engage with casts and creative teams in post-show forums, explore aspects of theatre craft in special workshops, have the opportunity to perform on the SBW Stables Theatre stage and generally join in with the life and workings of a professional theatre company.
