About Us
Fishy Productions began as an actor-based production company with a core group of actors meeting weekly to read new plays and classics from all over the world.
In 2003 Fishy produced an evening of One-Act plays by Joe Pintauro, Theresa Rebeck and Fred Stroppel called Sixty Six Minutes at the TAP Gallery. In April 2004, Sixty Six Minutes transferred to the Darlinghurst Theatre Company for a sell-out season. Fishy’s next production was the Australian premier of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Fuddy Meers. Next, Fishy Productions staged a sell-out production of Donald Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Dinner with Friends. Fishy returned to the Darlinghurst Theatre Company with a second season of Dinner with Friends in 2007. Our next production, Neil LaBute’s This Is How It Goes was produced with DTC in February 2008 and received a Sydney Morning Herald Metro Pick and a five-star review from Time Out Sydney.
Since our beginnings, Fishy has expanded into writing and film. In December 2007, we produced our film Rex, based on Joe Pintauro’s short play by the same name. Rex has been an official selection for The Hardacre Film Festival, The Eugene International Film Festival, Hell’s Half Mile Film and Music Festival, The Twin Cities Underground Film Festival, Urbis Animax and the Mandurah Film Festival. We are currently in pre-production for our second film Dream the Life.
Our vision is to foster a network of inspired professionals who wish to entertain audiences and pursue artistic excellence. It is our desire to continue to stage previously un-seen work, bring to the stage inspired classics and produce new voices for the stage and screen.
Fishy Productions off-sets all carbon impact and prints on recycled paper.
