Tape holds the theatre together. Purple tape makes it fashion.

Purple Tape Productions are a new company run by women, with the aim of uplifting female and gender diverse voices in the theatre.

Having started in 2022 after years of “unofficial” collaboration between Tyler Fitzpatrick and Lily Hayman, the company has grown quickly. Winning Adelaide Fringe and Sydney Theatre Awards in 2023, they have been recognised for a strong ability to deliver exciting new work by women/gender diverse artists across multiple independent spaces. With a focus on fostering new work to the stage, Purple Tape makes bold, female-led productions. We do the heavy lifting and we wear the (fabulous) pants.
