Legit Theatre Co.

Legit Theatre Co. Legit Theatre Co. is passionate about making new work that champions emerging theatre makers.

We are Legit Theatre Co., a Gadigal-based independent theatre company that aims to support emerging artists having their voice heard on Sydney stages. In 2019, we re-invigorated KXTeethcutting, a monthly program for creatives to work with professional and emerging directors to stage free moved readings at bAKEHOUSE. In this time, we staged 19 readings with approximately 114 actors, directors and p

laywrights represented, telling diverse stories from Australia and around the world. Legit’s founders Annie Stafford and Mathew Lee met working with The Little Eggs Collective: a collaborative company making brave devised works. Here they shaped their artistic practice, combining new plays, precise ensemble work, magical storytelling, cohesive, robust movement, vocal harmony and bold creative designs. Their debut production - Dumb Kids by Jacob Parker - was produced at KXT on Broadway in 2023, representing everything we strive to create as an indie theatre company: a collaborative ensemble of up-and-coming creatives finding their voice in the room, excelling at their craft and developing a multi-disciplinary work that represents their experiences. We hope the work we produce appeals to those who feel unseen or unheard, seeing themselves shining on stage in a dynamic and unorthodox new work.

Tomorrow is our last BABES-IN-ARMS performance of The Edit at !

🗓️ THURSDAY 23 AUGUST, 1.30pm

With support from Create NSW, The Edit is pioneering a creative process and production model tailored to the needs of parents or carers.

“It’s been a particularly wild 2025 season, and closing show The Edit not only takes the cake, but eats it up too – and then plunges the cake knife into the bleeding heart of anyone’s naively optimistic ideas about the state of progressive feminism.“ - Kate Prendergast, Two Cents
