The Engine Room of
Regional Victorian Theatre
Fueling New Australian Stories
At Mitochondria Productions, we believe that every great story begins with a spark of energy.
In biology, the mitochondrion is the "powerhouse of the cell" — the engine that converts raw nutrients into the vital energy that sustains life.
In the cultural landscape of Central Victoria, we seek to serve that same purpose. We take the raw talent of our regional artists and provide the "cellular respiration" needed to transform ideas into ambitious Australian theatre.
We don't just put on a show; we fuel an ecosystem where artists can live, work, and thrive without having to migrate to the big cities.
The Energy Behind The Art
Based in the heart of Bendigo, Mitochondria Productions is more than a theatre company. We are a creative catalyst dedicated to innovating, developing, and producing new original Australian work.
We believe that the most powerful stories are the ones growing in our own backyard. By providing a fertile platform for regional Victorian artists, we nurture local seeds into professional-grade theatrical blooms.
For too long, capital cities have been seen as the only place for innovative and impactful theatre. We’re changing that narrative. By investing in Regional Victorian talent, we ensure our community’s stories aren't just told —they’re celebrated on the main stage.
