This is IRSC
Since its founding in 2023, IRSC has defined what professional community theatre south of Hobart can be, providing a creative outlet for otherwise arts-starved areas; IRSC is the only theatre production company in the Kingborough and outside Huonville in the Valley.
​
With over 30 classes a week across several rural town halls, and regular productions in musical theatre and plays, IRSC is dedicated to expanding its knowledge, connections and quality with every project.
Our Culture
Inclusion
At IRSC, we are dedicated to fostering a culture that is inclusive, creative, and collaborative. We celebrate the diverse perspectives and experiences that each individual brings, creating an environment where everyone feels empowered, comfortable, and free to express themselves.
​
Recognising that many in our community come from limited theatre backgrounds, we are committed to supporting and uplifting both established artists and newcomers. We strive to create spaces where people from all backgrounds can come together, be brave, and create bold work. We encourage all involved in our initiatives to approach their work with generosity, curiosity, kindness, and respect.
​
​At IRSC, we are a company of connections. From the first introductions to the final bows, we build friendships and cultivate positivity throughout the entire journey of each project. Through our initiatives, we aim to remain connected and responsive to each other, our communities, our industries, and the broader global context. Regardless of your background or location, we invite you to join us in our mission to be a creative force for good in our community.
Inclusive Practice is essential to the work that we do, and we want to make sure that IRSC is always a welcoming and accessible place for disabled and neurodivergent young people. As part of this commitment we:
​
STAFF RESOURCES - Educate staff on neurodiversity and effective communication strategies to support attendees with diverse needs
​
QUIET ROOMS - Provide designated spaces where individuals can retreat if they feel overwhelmed.
MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS - Ensure that rehearsal and class spaces are free from unnecessary stimuli that could divert attention.
​
READABLE FONTS - Offer programs and materials in dyslexia-friendly fonts and formats, such as sans-serif fonts and high-contrast colour schemes.
