About us
Monkey Baa makes great theatre for young people for over 24 years we presented award-winning theatrical experiences that inspire and empower young people across Australia and internationally. For the past decade, Monkey Baa has made its home at the ARA Darling Quarter Theatre in Sydney and on Gadigal land. This is where we work, play and produce high-quality theatre.
We are one of Australia’s widest touring companies with 28 national tours to 135 regional and remote communities, 5 international tours and over 3000 performances reaching over 1.5 million young people. Nearly a quarter of a century of operation requires resilience and ingenuity.
Much has changed since its inception in 1997 – particularly in the past 2 years – but Monkey Baa’s appetite for development, transformation and renewal remains the same.
