Treehouse Theatre was born as a formal vehicle to aid the bi-annual "Tree of Life" projects; a series of theatre and mentoring projects. Through group story telling in a live public theatre performance, young refugees share their personal stories with friends, family and the wider community.

Directors Ruth and Catherine are are old friends, having met in our work with young refugees; Catherine as a Psychologist and School Counsellor, and Ruth as a Drama teacher and teacher of English as a Second Language. The directors both love theatre, and believe in the power of stories to enliven and transform, and in the “tangled magics” (to quote Tim Winton) of live theatre to take us inside the experience of the story-teller.
