About Us

Telluric. was created to address the lack of LGBTQIA+ stories developed and produced on our stages, founded by Phillippe Cato and Wayne Glover-Stuart in 2022. 

We develop and produce theatre that tells representative LGBTQIA+ stories and narratives from global perspectives. By disrupting our thinking we are able to develop artists, audiences and work that will transform the theatre industry. 

As a production company we can support projects at various stages of development and we welcome individual conversations. 

Vision 

To create a theatre sector where all LGBTQIA+ stories are told regardless of gender, race, disability or socio-economic background. 

Mission 

To tell representative LGBTQIA+ stories and narratives from global perspectives via theatre productions.
