Made in Sydney

Made in Sydney is back and bigger than ever! Now in its sixth season, this flagship program shines a spotlight on the best locally made, tour-ready independent work.

Presented at PACT, the 2025 season expands into a three-part celebration of homegrown excellence: Made in Sydney, Made in Wollongong and Made in Canberra in collaboration with Merrigong Theatre Company and Canberra Theatre Centre. From theatre and musical theatre to dance, physical performance and artistic experimentation, this is the future of performance, made right here.

Programming includes Takatāpui and I Watched Someone Die on TikTok from Sydney; The Cadaver Palaver: A Bennett Cooper Sullivan Adventure and Superposition from Canberra; and Dear Diary and The Cardinal Rules from Wollongong.

Whether you’re cheering for your city or chasing what’s next, this is the program to watch. Discover new voices, new stories, and the next generation of festival favourites
