Anne-Louise Sarks is Artistic Director and Chief Executive Officer of Melbourne Theatre Company - the first solo woman to hold the Artistic Director role since the company was founded in 1953, and sole Chief Executive Officer since late 2025 (one of very few leaders of Australian theatre companies to hold both roles outright). 
An internationally acclaimed director, writer and dramaturg, her work has been seen across Melbourne, Sydney, London, Helsinki, Mexico City, New York, Warsaw, Dublin, Auckland, Mumbai, Perth and Basel.
We catch Anne- Louise right in the middle of a busy day. In fact I don't imagine there isn't one day in the week that isn't back to back. We couldn't cover everything and one of them My Brilliant Career but all I will say is if you get the chance to see it. Please do. Stat!

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
Hosted by Kate Meade Produced by Sophie Jackson
