2012 has been a mammoth year for Sydney Theatre Company. Here are
some of the exciting things that took place here in the past 12
months:
* We opened our fabulous new watering hole, the aptly named The Bar
at the End of the Wharf

of Everything, Never Did Me Any Harm, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, The
Splinter, Sex with Strangersand The Wharf Revue all at The
Wharf; Pygmalion, Face to Face, Waterand The Pirates

songs], Under Milk Wood, Australia Dayand Signs of
Lifeat the Drama House.
*We toured far and wide this year, including acclaimed
international tours of our productions Gross und Klein (Big and
Small)and Uncle Vanya.
*Our STC Ed department has been busy developing the school drama
program, which goes from strength to strength, and presenting two
shows: Look the Other Waywith the Bankstown Youth
Development Service and In A Heartbeat, with the Armidale
community.
* Andrew Upton announced, to everyone's delight, that he would stay
on at STC as sole Artistic Director for another three years.
Patrick McIntyre will join Andrew in running the company as
Executive Director, and they will work closely with our new
Director of Programming and Artistic Operations, Rachael
