Richard Watts invites Malthouse Theatre’s co-CEOs Vivia Hickman (executive producer) and Dean Bryant (artistic director) onto SmartArts to chat about the theatre's exciting 2026 season.

As well as touching on what audiences can expect from Malthouse in the new year, Vivia and Dean speak about the challenge of bringing together different creatives to build a varied season of drama that will excite and inspire theatregoers.

Mathouse is firmly committed to promoting First Nations artists and their upcoming program reflects this. 2026 will start with a bang - Jada Alberts’ Black Light and Megan Wilding's GAME. SET. MATCH are the cornerstone of the new season.
