Made in Sydney

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

Presented at PACT, the 2026 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 experimental, to  physical performance and artistic experimentation, this is the future of performance, made right here.

Programming includes legendary theatre group Frumous with Landed and ICHOR from Treachery of Images (TOI) from Sydney; The Fool from Canberra; and Squelch Watch: Live and Girls Gone Wild 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
