Spotlight program & events


When it comes to theatre making, what you see on stage is just the tip of the creative iceberg. Sydney Theatre Company’s Spotlight program shines a light on the huge amount of creative work that takes place behind the scenes and unpacks the deeper ideas that inspire our artists. Take a peek at what makes us tick, expand your understanding of the artform and enrich your experience beyond lights up.

Lunch with the Artists

Join us in conversation with the cast and creatives of select productions over a delicious two-course meal at one of our Lunch with the Artists series. Proudly hosted by our Pier Group at The Wharf Restaurant and Bar, tickets are $105 (including your meal) with proceeds going towards the creation of ambitious new works.

Nights with the Artists

At select performances, these casual, post-show panel discussions give you an opportunity to hear directly from actors and creatives about their process. Nights with the Artists add no extra cost to your ticket, just stay in your seat once the applause finishes and get ready to learn more.
