The Residents

Sydney Theatre Company's permanent ensemble of performers continue to work at the Company's home base, The Wharf, through 2011. The Residents, formed as an evolution of the original STC Actors Company, are six actors employed full time by Sydney Theatre Company with a particular focus on the development of theatre while working across all aspects of the Company's program.

Audiences have the opportunity to enjoy the work of the ensemble in a variety of ways. The Residents are occasionally seen in Main Stage shows and just as importantly they work in the Company's Next Stage, Back Stage and Education streams, moving regularly between these different areas.

With the exploration, shaping and fine-tuning of new works as a guiding objective, The Residents have already proved an invaluable resource to playwrights and directors and it is hoped the results of their pioneering work will benefit the whole Australian theatre scene. The Residents occupy a central role in the day-to-day operations of the Company and work very closely with Associate Director Tom Wright and Literary Manager Polly Rowe as well as Artistic Directors Andrew Upton and Cate Blanchett.
