🎭 DIRECTORS — WE WANT YOU!

Dionysus Theatre is calling for directors to join the creative team for our upcoming Arete Festival!

Arete brings together theatre-makers to bring a selection of pre-selected scripts to the stage, and we’re looking for directors ready to put their own creative stamp on these works.

As part of the EOI process, you’ll be able to preference the script(s) you’re most interested in directing, so you can tell us which work sparks your imagination.

Whether you’re an emerging director looking for your next opportunity or an experienced theatre-maker keen to collaborate, we’d love to hear from you.

✨ Think you’re the right fit? Put in an EOI!

📋 Full details + EOI form: https://www.dionysustheatre.org.au/get-involved

📅 Applications close: Wednesday 30 September, 11.59pm

The fruit is ripening... 🍎

Our cast has been deep in rehearsal, weaving together movement, music, and poetry to bring Goblin Market to life. Every rehearsal uncovers another layer of Christina Rossetti's haunting tale - one of temptation, sisterhood, and the power found in refusing to let go of one another.

Here's a little glimpse behind the curtain. We can't wait to share the full feast with you.

"You should not loiter in the glen
In the haunts of goblin men."
