Established in 1978, the STC is Sydney theatre’s most prominent company and has played an important part in the careers of many famous Australian actors (especially Cate Blanchett, co-artistic director from 2008 to 2013). Performances are staged here in the renovated Wharf Theatre, opposite at the Roslyn Packer Theatre and also at the Opera House.
