Open-minded, fresh, Australian, bright, clear and clever—that’s Blue Sky Theatre.
Blue Sky Theatre Productions Incorporated is a South Australian theatre company bringing stories to life in two distinct ways: sunlit, open-air performances in gardens each summer, and darker, richer theatrical experiences at Marion’s Domain Theatre each winter.
Wherever we perform, our focus remains the same—honest, well-crafted productions delivered with elegant simplicity and a forward-thinking spirit.
Our Philosophy
Our productions feature the pick of Adelaide’s award-winning, experienced creatives, both on stage and behind the scenes. At the heart of Blue Sky Theatre is a dynamic ensemble that evolves with every show, blending long-standing company members with exciting new talent. This ever-changing collaboration keeps our work vibrant, inventive, and full of energy.
We shine a light on new interpretations of classic works while also creating space for new stories to emerge. Blue Sky thinking, under a blue sky.
Our Story
Blue Sky Theatre began in 2017 with our own adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. From that first production, we set out to reimagine classic stories for modern audiences—making them accessible, engaging, and full of life.
Our signature garden performances embrace a relaxed, picnic-style atmosphere, creating a charming and intimate connection between performers and audience. Many classic and Restoration comedies are brilliant but can feel long or complex, so we adapt them—preserving their wit while making them easier to follow and enjoy.
We love placing familiar stories in unexpected settings:
- The School for Scandal reimagined with 1950s flair
- She Stoops to Conquer set in the roaring twenties
- The Government Inspector transported to a sun-soaked Greek island in 1937
These creative shifts bring new energy to timeless works and invite audiences to see them in a fresh light.
Our Community
Over the past decade, our cast and crew have become a true family. Many artists have returned again and again, building a strong foundation of collaboration and trust. At the same time, we’re proud to welcome new performers each year, offering them the unique challenge—and joy—of outdoor theatre.
Blue Sky Theatre is a not-for-profit organisation. Through our garden performances, we raise funds for worthwhile causes, supporting local charities, venues, and community foundations.
Thanks to our audiences, we’ve donated more than $240,000 over the past ten years. Every show has sold out, and we are genuinely grateful for the incredible support that makes our work possible.
Looking Ahead
With a growing following and a reputation for high-quality, imaginative productions, Blue Sky Theatre continues to evolve—bringing intriguing stories, fresh perspectives, and unforgettable experiences to the stage.
