The Sunshine Troupe Inc was incorporated in 2010, driven by a group of committed parents who wished to create opportunities for their adult children to be involved in the performing arts.

​

Based on The Sunshine Coast, Queensland, The Troupe embraces Disability Led Practice where our members’ stories, talent and dreams are the driving force within all that we do.

​

Authenticity of voice, story and performance, where the sharing of our collective lived experience creates awareness and conversation about who we are, are the mechanisms we hope to trigger to inspire inclusion in our community and beyond.

​

Beginning with a small parent led committee which has now grown to include community members and Patron, Rosanna Natoli, the Troupe continues to grow both in number and stature, creating original theatrical productions, professional performance opportunities at major events and pursuing opportunities to work with mainstream theatrical companies.

​

We look forward to our continued evolution with our new Creative Director, Michael Beh, who began with us in December 2025.  

Michael is a Fulbright Fellow, theatre director, designer, teacher and scholar.  He is an internationally trained, staunch arts advocate 'for all' with 40 years of experience working in schools, universities, community, independaent and professional theatre arenas.  He is ecstatic about the continued evolution of the Sunshine Troupe.
