Wit Incorporated is a vibrant and inclusive professional theatre community championing diverse and engaging work that inspires artists and audiences alike.

Our mission is to forge artistic connections in Melbourne's West by sharing stories that are culturally rich and representative of humankind as a whole.

Founded in Footscray in 2014, Wit Incorporated grew from a desire to enrich and contribute to the arts in Melbourne’s inner-west and foster a culture of theatre-going within the community.

Over the many years, Wit has produced over 20 staged shows, collaborating with hundreds of artists in Melbourne’s West.
