Corporate Theatre Library

Sixteen plays. One purpose.

A library of Corporate Theatre plays written by The Experience Lab for Australian workplaces.

Every play in this library is tailored before it's performed. Scenarios, character names, terminology and the conversations they spark are rewritten for your sector and your room. The list below is a starting point - Jacob will recommend the right play and the right tailoring on the scoping call.

Workplace Bullying

Workplace Bullying

Plays that bring workplace bullying into the room as it actually unfolds - the repeated slight, the ambiguous instruction, the team member who's always the butt of the joke.

Bullying · Grey zone

Much Ado About Hector

Hector shakes things up at the office, starting with Mary. Lives in the line between legitimate workplace instruction and inappropriate behaviour - the grey zone where most workplace bullying actually happens.

Bullying · Trade & FIFO

Same Old Slugger

Our primary Bullying play for outdoor, high-vis and trade workforces. Rupert leads a diverse project team and Slugger is the old-school one who keeps crossing lines. Especially resonant where banter and bullying get blurred.

Multi-topic · Manager development

The Life of Riley

Bullying surfaces alongside harassment and Upstander moments in Riley's day as a newly-appointed manager. Pick bullying as one of the focus topics when commissioning the play.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual Harassment

Plays scripted for the Positive Duty era - Sex Discrimination Act compliant scenarios that hold up under the standard for reasonable and proportionate measures.

Sexual Harassment · Humour vs harm

Larrikin or Larry Can't

Larry is the self-appointed office "clown"; Stephanie doesn't find his crude jokes funny. Lives in the line between humour and harassment, and the question of where workplaces draw it.

Multi-topic · Manager development

The Life of Riley

Sexual harassment is one of the threads Riley navigates as a new manager. Often paired with bullying and Upstander focus topics in a single session.

Psychosocial & Mental Health

Psychosocial & Mental Health

Plays anchored in the WHS Code of Practice - the hazards Australian employers are now accountable for managing, brought into the room before they compound.

Psychosocial · Pressure & fatigue

The Hazards of Duke

Duke Corporation chases success while workers buckle under pressure. Explicit focus on hidden psychosocial hazards in the workplace and the leader behaviours that drive them.

FIFO mental health

This FIFO Life of Brian

Brian starts a new FIFO role; work patterns, time away from family, fatigue and mental health. Co-developed with This FIFO Life and the WA Mental Health Commission. The scenarios were written with FIFO workers and their families.

Psychosocial · Reasonable adjustments

Connor's Hard Work

Performance pressure meets workplace disability and reasonable adjustments. A study in how subtle psychosocial harm accumulates when the system isn't set up to flex.

Diversity, Inclusion & Equity

Diversity, Inclusion & Equity

Plays that move past virtue-signalling. Built for the 2026 D&I backlash moment - disarming, evidence-grounded, designed to land with sceptical participants.

D&I · Hiring & belonging

Animal Firm: A Tale of Belonging

Gary the GM hires Joey, a very different creature, to boost diversity. The team struggles to adapt. Fun, irreverent characters surface unconscious bias and exclusion in a way that disarms defensiveness.

Inclusion · Intent vs impact

Same Same But Different

Aneela, a recent immigrant, joins an all-white team. Well-meaning Harold, Zak and Rain let assumptions get in the way. A study in the gap between intent and impact that most participants recognise in themselves.

Gender Equity · Reversal

It's a Woman's Woman's World

A world where women are in charge and female middle managers explore how to empower men. Flips the script on gendered power dynamics in a way pure D&I content rarely can. Co-developed with CEOs for Gender Equity.

Upstander & Bystander

Upstander & Bystander

Plays built around the four Upstander behaviours - Call it, Disrupt it, Report it, Support.

Upstander toolkit

Be an Upstander

The play written around the four Upstander behaviours in action. Used as the anchor for our Upstander Training program and as a complementary module alongside Harassment, Bullying and Respectful Workplace work.

Multi-topic · Manager development

The Life of Riley

Riley's day is full of Upstander moments - moments where a colleague has to decide whether to call it, disrupt it, report it or support. Good fit when Upstander needs to land alongside other respect-at-work themes.

Change & Leadership

Change & Leadership

Plays for leadership cohorts navigating change, culture and the conversations that determine whether the team comes with them.

Values · Induction

The Apprentice Play

Dan, Mitch, Xavier and Peta: four very different new starters. Explores organisational values through their eyes - especially powerful for apprentice, graduate and new-starter cohorts.

Values · Communication

All That Glitters

The Wombat car company team chases sales at the expense of company values. Communication, courage, integrity and respect tested in real time.

Leadership · Inclusive leadership

Kendall on the Ropes

Kendall is the leader who prioritises the bottom line over the people side when a DEI overhaul hits his business. Strong fit for leadership cohorts that need a play about leading inclusively - not just about D&I.

Family Violence (primary prevention)

Family Violence (primary prevention)

Co-developed with DART Group, family violence specialists.

Family violence · Primary prevention

Behind Closed Doors

Skye and Judd - a couple who appear perfect until the signs of family violence emerge behind closed doors. Co-developed with DART Group. Addresses workplace responsibilities under primary prevention frameworks - what colleagues notice, what managers can do, what a workplace's duty of care looks like.

Multi-topic, customisable

Multi-topic, customisable

Plays that flex across topics - useful for whole-of-workforce programs where multiple themes need to land in a single session.
