University of the Sunshine Coast Theatre, Australia

University of the Sunshine Coast Theatre, Australia UniSC Theatre showcases and promotes the work of UniSC Theatre and Performance Students.

UniSC's Theatre and Performance programme encourages our students to experience the thrill of live performance and guide them towards success as a performer, director, educator, or stage manager. They will explore traditional and contemporary approaches to voice and text and study elements of 20th-century theatre to learn how to captivate and hold an audience. Our students study theatre history, a

cting, directing and performance leadership, culminating in a fully realised original devised production. Each year the programme has a Theatre Season where students have the opportunity to collaborate with their peers on multiple productions and make an impact on the Sunshine Coast with regular public performances. Taught by national and international award-winning industry experts, the skills our students learn can be applied to a broad range of careers and industry sectors, including education, creative industries, communication, events management and more.

UniSC Theatre and Performance Season Announcement!

For Trimester 1 in 2026 our two mainstage productions are adaptations of absolute classics.

Our first Theatre Company show will be "The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged" by Jessica Bedford, Kathryn MacMillan, Charlotte Northeast and Meghan Winch, directed by Dr Hannah Banks. A funny, fast-paced romp through the masterpieces of Jane Austen. Three actors take on all of Austen’s beloved heroines, friends, and love interests – and her incisive social satire – in just 75 minutes.
Performance dates are 16th-18th April.

Then the DRA300 Production will be "Dream of Sussex Downs" by Sir Roger Hall, directed by Dr Carl Walling. A modern adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters set in Wellington, New Zealand during the 1950’s. This drama focuses on a family's return to New Zealand and the resulting disillusionment with their lives.
Performance dates are 4th-6th June.
