Green Door Theatre Company – SISTREN

Green Door Theatre Company is a Sydney based, independent company, specialising in provocative new work. GDTC places artists, and social impact at the centre of the producing process. They are a company that values artistic time and contribution above all else. They believe in the power of theatre to shift perception and behaviour.

In SISTREN, the blazingly talented performer Iolanthe (seven methods of killing kylie jenner) makes her playwriting debut, sharing the stage with her IRL bestie, the extra-ordinary Janet Anderson (Overflow). The lines of fiction and friendship intertwine in this transcendent study of sisterhood across class, cultural and interdimensional boundaries.

Green Door Theatre Company have received a small grant to support two community activation nights at Bar Freda’s to accompany their SISTREN season in July. These nights will centre and celebrate the Black, trans, and queer communities the play speaks to and about.

As part of their broader engagement strategy rooted in sisterhood and solidarity, these events extend a direct invitation from Janet and Iolanthe to their respective communities to gather, connect, and celebrate. Each night will include tickets to the show and afterparty, a shared meal, performances by trans and Black artists, a DJ, and the launch of a community-created zine—a cultural vessel that honours the beauty, power, and history of Black and trans connection, preserving these gatherings in tangible form.
