Slingsby creates theatrical experiences that acknowledge the pain that is often a feature of human experience but that ultimately reminds ‘the adult in all of us’ of the potential joy, infinite possibility and wonder of the universe.

The company is led by Andy Packer (Artistic Director), Jodi Glass (Executive Producer) and Lisa Hill (Production Manager). Slingsby's productions are conceived by Andy Packer and developed in partnership with artists from a range of artistic disciplines including key creative collaborators Quincy Grant (composer) and Geoff Cobham (designer).

Playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer was a key creative collaborator on the company’s first three productions, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy, Wolf and Man Covets Bird.

Slingsby's award winning inaugural production, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy, premiered in the Adelaide Festival Centre in January 2008. It has since performed in 26 venues in 13 cities on 5 continents. Seasons include Sydney Festival, Children First Festival in Singapore, Festival Teatralia in Madrid, Imaginate Festival in Edinburgh, The Egg at Theatre Royal Bath, Sydney Opera House, ASSITEJ 2008 World Congress and Performing Arts Festival in Adelaide, and a five-week tour of regional and metropolitan South Australia. Slingsby's debut international tour, the 2009 world tour of The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy, won a Ruby Award for "Leadership in Arts Enterprise".

Wolf, the company's second production was largely developed and subsequently premiered in Mount Gambier in regional South Australian. Wolf premiered in May 2009 in Mount Gambier's Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre after which the production toured for three weeks to 10 regional South Australian towns and performed a week-long season in the 2009 Come Out Festival for young audiences.

Man Covets Bird, Slingsby's third production, premiered in March 2010 for the 2010 Adelaide Festival and Adelaide Festival Centre's InSpace program.
