Sydney Theatre Company

Circular Quay & The Rocks


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.
