Dear Grif-friend, It’s Julia here—I am the Production Manager of the national Prima Facie tour this year, and have been loving my time here at Griffin Theatre Company. On a day-to-day basis, you can find me wrangling all the puzzle pieces that go into the ‘behind the scenes’ of a show—from contracting crew, to sourcing costumes and props, to making sure production week runs smoothly and efficiently. I get a real kick out of making everything backstage happen like clockwork so you, the audience, don’t notice my work! For the past few weeks, I’ve been working closely with stage manager Katie Han ..read more

Hello Grif-fam! I’m Erica, the new Marketing Manager here in Griff-land. There’s an odd but warm sense of déjà vu in the air for me—not just because it’s hot cross bun and chocolate egg season already (I swear I was polishing off a bag of Cadbury eggs yesterday?!)—but because I’m back in the cosiness of the SBW Stables Theatre, a space that is nice and familiar after working on many an ATYP @ Griffin season in the past! I’ve had an incredible time immersing myself in everything Griffin 2023 and hitting the ground running with our thrilling season of Sex Magick by Nicholas Brown. I cannot under ..read more

What’s up Kings, Queens and in-betweens—it’s Kate here, and if you’re like me, you’ve just celebrated the first weekend of Sydney WorldPride 2023… and what an opening weekend it was!!! I truly tested my stamina by cutting several shapes at the 24 hour performance art party Day for Night alongside the amazing Betty Grumble aka Emma Maye Gibson‘s 24 Hour Grumble Boogie. Emma Maye is one of our delightful Griffin Studio artists for 2023. If you’re not across this self-proclaimed sex clown, absolutely check her out! (If you’re more of a Sydney WorldPride homebody, don’t worry—you can read all ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, This summer is feeling deliciously long. And while we are back from holidays, busy as ever making theatre magic (Literally! Sex Magick is in its final week of rehearsal!) there is still an overflow of impromptu social catch ups, good vibes on the street, and lots of ocean swims (or as many as I can get). Nicholas Brown’s Sex Magick begins previews next week and is as steamy as summer gets. This co-production with Sydney WorldPride has a sexy new trailer to get you in the mood and some clever theatre tricks to share—as always, it’s pushing the limits on what we can squeeze on ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, Hello! I’m Nathan Harrison, the Ticketing Administrator here at Griffin. I first came into the building as a Griffin Studio artist in 2021, and fell in love with the passion and energy of the whole company. It’s my pleasure to work on all things tickets and subscriptions with the rest of the ticketing team, including our unstoppable admin Kate Marks and outgoing Box Office Manager Jackson Used, who we will miss forever.  Like a lot of people, I’ve been packing too much into my January. I’ve been swimming at as many beaches as I can, and enjoying all the meats of our Summ ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, Hello! My name is Leila Enright, and I am writing to you as the new Senior Producer at Griffin. I started late last year along with the exemplary Khym Scott, our new General Manager, and the incredible Andrea James taking up the role of Associate Artistic Director. I’ve been very lucky to come in with such a cohort. I have been so warmly welcomed into the fold—can confirm for those on the outside that the staff here are every bit as joyous, warm and interesting as the shows they produce. My job here is to produce each Main Season work and I’m also supporting the in-house dram ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, Last week marked the End Of. our 2022 Season!   Can you believe it?   I squeezed in that pun (and hyperlink)… again. My little Marketing brain simply refuses to quit, even after the show is over. Or perhaps my brain is elsewhere—totally spiralling over my impending law exams (if anyone has some last-minute pearls of wisdom for Trusts and Equity, I would appreciate it). But it’s nothing that our favourite office doggo can’t fix. Regardless, I must admit that it’s been hard to move on from what has been an amazing 2022 Season… but move on we must, because Griffin ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, Howdy, my name is Jackson, and I am the Box Office Manager here at Griffin, popping in for my first ever Griffin News. If you’ve visited our beautiful theatre recently, I have had the opportunity to speak with many of you since I began the role in April but, as a result of what has been a HUGE year for Griffin, this is the first moment I’ve had to address you here. So, hello!   Recently, I have spent most of my time building the ticketing side of our productions for 2023, processing subscriptions and exchanges and generally being a point of contact along with my front of ..read more

Dear Grif-friend, Ang here—the Acting Marketing Manager at Griffin! I’m currently in a state of post-launch euphoria after having put together everything from the gorgeous Season imagery to the brochure to the psychedelic video content, all in collaboration with my colleague Sasha and our wonderful creative partners! I am mildly (read: totally, utterly) obsessed with the look and feel of our 2023 Season—it’s like dessert for your eyeballs! It was so much fun dreaming up the design concept with Declan and Alphabet Studios, and I’m so thrilled that it’s finally out ..read more
