Griffin is the only company in Australia dedicated to the production of new Australian plays. We make theatre about now. We believe there is no more important theatre in the country.
Located in the heart of Kings Cross in Sydney, the company is housed in the iconic SBW Stables Theatre on Nimrod Street. We describe it as ‘the country’s most intimate and captivating professional stage.’ Literally an old stables, the theatre seats 105 people with general admission and bench seats. Every year, in this unlikely space, we produce five professional productions of Australian plays in our Main Season, each playing between five and eight weeks, with a host of additional programming that sits around this including that support more experimental forms, independent theatre, and works in development.
Griffin was recently invited to join the National Performing Arts Partnership Framework along with seven other new entrants and a further 30 major Australian performing arts companies previously part of the major performing arts framework. This signals a significant shift in size and ambition for the company as it continues to lead the national voice in playwriting and the development of new Australian work.
It’s an exciting time for Griffin, and an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team dedicated to shaping the future of Australian theatre.
Working closely with the Executive Director and Artistic Director, Griffin’s Production Manager is responsible for delivering the production requirements of all Griffin’s Main Season productions and development projects, supporting independent/external producers and overseeing the operations and maintenance requirements of the company’s home venue, the SBW Stables Theatre.
