About Andrew Henry

I am the driving force behind Andrew Henry Presents, a visionary theatrical producer celebrated for crafting extraordinary live performance experiences. As the co-founder of Red Line Productions, a trailblazer in Australia's independent theatre scene, I work to consistently pushes creative boundaries. In 2023, my collaboration with GWB Entertainment resulted in a groundbreaking revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" at Her Majesty's Melbourne, starring Anthony LaPaglia. The production earned critical acclaim and a transfer to Sydney's prestigious Theatre Royal. I have cultivated a robust pipeline of works, emphasising compelling narratives and collaborations with exceptional artists. Earlier in 2023, it was an honour to produce "Amadeus" at the Sydney Opera House, headlining the venue's 50th Anniversary celebrations, starring the incomparable Michael Sheen alongside a phenomenal Australian cast, with costumed directed by the iconic fashion powerhouse team at Romance Was Born. In my time leading Red Line Productions (2014-2023), I transformed Sydney's Old Fitz Theatre into a crucible for independent work. The Old Fitz Theatre became globally-recognised as a venue presenting world-class live experiences, and a cauldron for artists to create ambitious and daring work. Many artists who first cut their teeth working at the Old Fitz are now recognised as some of the leading practitioners working in theatres across the country. In 2020, in the face of a global pandemic that left many isolated in their homes, I pursued quick innovation in order to lead the presentation of live-streamed theatre readings and live-streamed theatre seasons across the world. In over 17 countries, close to people tuned in to live streamed performances of: Orphans by Lyle Kessler starring Alec Baldwin; Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Joseph starring Rose Byrne and Ewen Leslie, with live music by John Butler; Elenoa Rokobaro Live in Concert and Thom Pain (Based on Nothing) featuring Toby Schmitz. I quite literally live for the arts and am an alumnus of the prestigious school at Steppenwolf in Chicago. If you love all things theatre and arts, please reach out. We are always looking for new support partners and ways to continually improve the work that we lovingly put out into the world. Feel free to email me directly at andrew@andrewhenrypresents.com
