We’re lucky to have many talented, accomplished women working with us at Sydney Theatre Company – on stage, in our creative teams, throughout our production departments and across our administration areas.
For our 2016 Season, we have talked to a number of women in theatre about their role at STC and the plays they will be working on. In acknowledgment of International Women’s Day, we’ve collected these articles together for you to explore.
