Citizen Theatre


Citizen Theatre is an independent Melbourne theatre company that has been producing and creating new work and existing plays since 2013. 

Citizen Theatre aims to change the way people think by making them feel. Citizen Theatre is drawn to presenting social causes and issues on stage and works with a feminist, access conscious approach in mind.

Many of shows explore the combinations that music and theatre can offer, to reimagine how musical forms of theatre are perceived in Australia. 

All performers and creatives involved with Citizen Theatre productions are practicing artists with relevant tertiary training and/or industry experience. Our standards are high and productions attract critical acclaim, whilst entertaining and connecting deeply with audiences.

Citizen Theatre values creativity, accountability and curiosity and aims to operate and work in a way that is grounded in these values.
