The Scene Project
Now in its 12th year, The Scene Project is a statewide participatory project that involves secondary schools (Years 7-12) in the creative process of performance, from rehearsal through to presentation. It acknowledges young people and teachers as artists and encourages the making, presenting, viewing and responding to live performance in a professional space and manner. The Scene Project prioritises collaboration, professional development of teachers and young people, and enhancing existing curriculum or co-curricular activity in schools.

#The Process
Each year Queensland Theatre Company commissions a play specifically for The Scene Project and its participants.
During Term 1, Teachers engage in a Professional Development opportunity designed to build and strengthen the teacher toolkit to deliver and create for the project.
Over Term 2, the secondary school participants are tasked with creating their own unique version of the work of up to 15 minutes.
Outcome Days are held in Performing Arts Centres across Queensland in Term 3, where participants then share their work with each other, before watching a team of professional actors from Queensland Theatre Company perform a full version of the play under the same parameters.
To find out more head to Queensland Theatre.
Registrations for The Scene Project 2026 are now open and will be closing on the 21st November or earlier if registrations are full.
