The players

The Mill Theatre at Dairy Road encourages professional practice and celebrates Canberra's emerged creatives. There may not be a huge number of us here and many keep moving out of town but let's celebrate and promote those who are here. This is not about being better than others, it is not about vertical comparisons - it is about the positive exploration of technique and the positive promotion and the horizontal growth of the industry in Canberra. There is room for all of us. 

It is also important to be transparent about casting and hiring so it should be public knowledge that several creatives will always be considered automatically. This is a positive and transparent element to the theatre and it's something any emerging creative who shares our values can join. 

The Players do a range of creative work. There are actors, singers, costume designers, composers and theatre makers. We now also have practitioners outside of Canberra who loved working here and want to come back!
