Siren Theatre Co is one of Sydney’s leading project based Independent theatre companies.

Our works challenge us artistically and inspire audiences with bold imaginative experiences.  

Siren Theatre Co has produced work in Sydney since 1997. Our work includes classics, contemporary drama and premieres of new Australian plays.  Siren Theatre Co’s audiences range from adults, students and families. We also believe in the value of on-going training and to this end the company runs Acting and Directing Masterclasses for practitioners.

In 2012 Siren Theatre Co will produce Enda Walsh's stunning THE NEW ELECTRIC  BALLROOM as part of Griffin Independent (in February); a new play by Chris Aronsten - THE LUNCH HOUR - a sparky black comedy; and have co-commissioned - with Mudlark Theatre (Tasmania) - a play for young audiences by Finnegan Krukemeyer: THE VIOLENT OUTBURST THAT DREW ME TO YOU.

See you at the theatre!
