About Us
Since its inception in 1991, Black Swan Theatre Company (“Black Swan”) has developed a reputation for innovation and the nurturing of new work, and in particular the telling of uniquely Western Australian stories. Its contribution to the cultural and social fabric of Western Australia was recognized in 2004 by the decision of both State and Federal Governments that Black Swan would be the State’s Flagship Theatre Company. Black Swan has also been confirmed as the Resident Company in Perth’s new Performing Arts Venue, to open in 2010. New Artistic Director, Kate Cherry, joined Black Swan in March 2008 and presented her first season program in October 2008. The Company’s status is reflected in the rebranding and renaming from Black Swan Theatre Company to Black Swan State Theatre Company, which also took effect in October 2008.
