Cathay Playhouse 華軒劇社

近年來，華軒劇社越來越多的受到話劇專業領域的肯定與嘉獎；2010年至今，更以前所未有的速度發展擴張。華軒曾先後得到澳洲中央戲劇學院表演系主任Kevin Jackson，中國中央戲劇學院表演系主任王明亞老師的肯定與讚賞。華軒劇社與國內話劇專業團體、演出經紀公司亦保持著良好的合作關係與交流往來；同時與澳洲各華文媒體、社團達成長久合作與推廣聯盟。 2012年，華軒劇社首次於同年推出兩部話劇作品，形成“經典製作”——復興傳統、重現經典；“蒲蕾製作”——活力創新、實驗先鋒的雙重風格，為華軒劇社藝術品牌的樹立提供更廣闊的發展空間。

我們亦將推廣國語話劇，傳播中國文化為我們不懈努力之目標。

Since its founding in 2003 as a Non-profit organisation registered under NSW Fair Trading, Cathay Playhouse has established a profound impact on the Australian Chinese community. Our aim is to promote exceptional Chinese dramas in order to spread traditional Chinese performing art and culture. For over sixteen years, Cathay has successfully presented several theatre productions in Sydney which has attracted an audience of over 34,100 collectively. Today, Cathay has become the largest and the most influential Chinese drama group within Australia.

At Cathay Playhouse, we provide art lovers with a platform to present themselves and gain a deeper understanding of Chinese Dramatic Arts through our productions. It is our mission to inherit and preserve traditional Chinese drama and art. Since 2010 Cathay is experiencing rapid expansion and growth; and for the past few years, Cathay has been granted with strong recognition and many awards. Recognition and awards have come from the Australia National Institute Dramatic Arts Mr. Kevin Jackson, Head of Acting, and China Central Academy of Drama Ms. Mingya Wang, Head of Acting. We have maintained and achieved long-term relationships with many Chinese domestic performance agents as well as all major Australian Chinese mass media companies.

In 2012, two major annual productions launched for the first time by Cathay - “Classic Production”, created to sustain Chinese traditions, and “Let’s Play Production” to pioneer further innovation in theatre. Cathay is aiming to progress further in its endeavours by cultivating a more diversified style of theatre.

Our ultimate goal is to present exceptional Mandarin drama to disseminate Chinese culture for contributing Australian Multi-cultural society and sustains and develops the traditional chinese art form.
