Who are the Curators?
TCT creates new and re-imagined work. Our aesthetic combines text-based theatre with highly theatrical scenography to create visually dynamic live performance. Stylistically different, TCT strives for politically, artistically-charged responses to the pressing themes underpinning our lives within twenty-first century, global culture. Described as evocative, unorthodox, innovative and outstanding, TCT works inter-generationally, bringing together emerging and senior artists to create performances that explore our shared humanity. We give preference to new works and existing dramatic works that address issues of marginalisation and under-representation in society. We value courage, boldness, collaboration, welcome, diversity, creativity and respect.
Co-founded by Michael Beh and Peter Crees in 2017, TCT has produced Uncle Vanya (Magda Artz), The Quighting Time (Anywhere Festival), The Third Beauty (Springhill Reservoir), Ghosts (Red Hill), Vincent River, The Revolutionists, Shadows of Love and Children of the Black Skirt (all at Christ Church, Milton). Core members have included Michael Beh, Peter Crees, Lisa Hickey, Amanda McErlean, Helen Strube, Gregg Goriss, Beth Scott, Libby Wherrett and Bronwyn Nayler. Associate artists include Adrienne Costello, Warwick Comber, Lauren Roche, Patrick Shearer and Sherri Smith.
One of the meanings of the Yuggera word, Meanjin, is “the place of the blue water lillies”. Home in the heart of Brisbane. We humbly honour the original custodians of this land by the signature use of the colour blue in our new website design.

At TCT, we value individual differences. Diversity is about learning from each other — regardless of our cultural background — and bringing those differences into the creative space to broaden experiences, understanding and knowledge. When diversity flourishes, true transformation can happen.
For us, creativity and artistry thrive on diversity and inclusivity — hearing each others’ stories, respecting each others’ different pathways, celebrating the unique qualities of each person regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, personality, age, education and background. We applaud and embrace our many different pathways through life and recognise that diversity and inclusion are fundamental to bringing people together.
