Celebrating 25 Years of The Living Room Theatre
Funded by the Inner West Council, Tales from the Inner West is a celebratory project that marks the 25th anniversary of The Living Room Theatre, bringing together live and filmed vignettes that explore the heart of our local community. Set against the backdrop of iconic locations across the Inner West, including our furture home in Summer Hill, this project weaves the stories that shape our lives with images that spark our imagination.
Through movement, music, theatre, and film, each vignette gives voice to the experiences of women, addressing themes of violence, trauma, beauty, and resilience. Drawing from a rich catalogue of personal and collective stories, the project seeks to restore dignity and foster a deeper connection between individuals and the world around them.
At The Living Room Theatre, we specialise in transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary stages for storytelling. For over two decades, we have engaged with our local community in ways that transcend traditional theatre, making art accessible and relevant to those who may feel disconnected from conventional art venues. This project builds on that legacy by inviting local residents, businesses, and passers-by to engage in the creative process, with a special focus on interaction through social media. We’ll be sharing shooting schedules and locations to encourage locals to take part in the production and become part of the magic.
Once completed, Tales from the Inner West will culminate in a special viewing night, where the community is invited to witness these powerful vignettes on screen and in live performance. It’s a chance for locals, visitors, and business owners to celebrate the resilience and beauty of our stories—and perhaps even see themselves reflected in the work.
Join us in celebrating 25 years of The Living Room Theatre, where the magic of art transforms everyday spaces into extraordinary stages for storytelling, connection, and community.
Stay tuned for updates and details about our shooting locations, schedules, and viewing event.
