The Scene Project

Suitable for Years 7-12, The Scene Project is Queensland Theatre’s largest educational offering. It builds connection, wellbeing, and collaboration by empowering participants to engage in the creative process of theatre making in a way that resonates with them and their community. Now in its 11th year, the program has a long history of bringing valuable insight into the development of new work, and for igniting ownership and passion within participants across the state.

#The Process

Each year Queensland Theatre commissions a new play specifically for The Scene Project and its participants. Over Term 2, the secondary school participants are tasked with creating their own unique version of the work of up to 15 minutes. Queensland Theatre Teaching Artists travel to all participating schools to work alongside students and educators to develop their outcome performance. 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 perform a full version of the play under the same parameters.

#What’s included

A newly commissioned script to use as a starting point to create a new piece of theatre with your young people.

  • Education Resources and Cultural Safety Plan to support exploration of the work in the rehearsal room.
  • A Teacher PD session to connect you with the creative team, and other teachers delivering the project.
  • A tailored workshop at your school from a Queensland Theatre Teaching Artist to assist you and your students in any phase of the process.
  • Attendance at an Outcome Day in a performing arts centre or stage in your region where you can share your work with other schools and Queensland Theatre.

#2025 Commission

The 2025 script ‘Recalibrate’ is co-written by Hayden Jones and Sam Foster from Shock Therapy Arts.
