Red Stitch Actors Theatre

The company contributes to arts practice in Australia by emphasising the actor across a variety of styles and modes of theatre production. From the more traditional naturalistic modes to highly stylised texts the focus is always on achieving honest, committed performances and a unified, collaborative approach to the expression of the work. Many professional directors come to work at Red Stitch precisely because they are keen to develop their craft in this way.

The company upholds a commitment to excellence in performance and promotion of the craft of acting. New ensemble members are selected by an intensive audition process and are usually employed as guest actors at least once before they are then invited to join as an active member.
