About Us

Live Ideas, Shared Stories

Uplifting artists and creating new work is what we do.
 
At The Street, the ACT region’s primary creative engine for contemporary performance and artist development, we are a dedicated producing house, theatre company and arts centre igniting creativity, conversation, and connection for artists and audiences in the region.
 
As an Australian award-winning theatre we have been a major investor in Canberra artists and new work for the last three decades.
 
Currently led by acclaimed stage director Caroline Stacey OAM, the Company employs some of the finest and much-loved creative talent in the region as well as Canberra’s creative diaspora and beyond.  
 
We commission, develop, produce and present work that talks to who we are and the world around us, making lasting contributions to Australian theatre, music and performance and Canberra’s distinct identity and artistic vitality.
 
We provide long-term, career-sustaining support for the performing arts industry creating a strong foundation for creative careers and quality work through a mix of pathways and programs for professionals now and into the future.
 
We offer a unique gathering place, jam-packed with vitality as all parts of Canberra City and region converge to meet, to eat, to drink, to relax, and to savour live performance and all that comes with it.
