For Artists | Show Auditions, Resources & Programs

Artists are at the heart of Queensland Theatre. We recognise that the career pathways and aspirations of theatre-makers are as diverse as the artists themselves and our constantly evolving community. Queensland Theatre is proud to offer responsive opportunities and programs for artists to: find employment, develop their skills – or discover new ones, obtain practical support for independent projects, but most importantly, to feel part of our family.
