About

Fletcher Scully (he/him) is a queer, Native American-Australian multidisciplinary writer and performance maker, born and raised on Dharawal land in Southern Sydney. His current artistic interests focus on creating auto-ethnographic pieces of performance that depict queer experiences void of tragedy, develop his understanding of his multicultural identity and examine the complexities of international and intergenerational familial connections.

Fletcher recently completed his Bachelor of Performing Arts (Performance Making) at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where he performed in last year’s TILT season at The Blue Room Theatre, with the show he wrote and co-devised, Cowboys & Indians (dir. Shontae Wright, 2024). Also at WAAPA, he wrote, directed and performed his poetic solo performance, AmericaNAH! (2023), which he later performed at one of Shopfront Arts Scratch Nights, was dramaturg and assistant stage manager for the co-devised Generator: Tomorrow (dir. Jeremy Neideck, 2023), performed in the company-devised site-specific production, Clubhouse, Dusk (dir. Will Dickie, 2023) and in Charles L. Mee’s Big Love (dir. Candy Bowers, 2024), with a final performance in the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre collaboration, The Murmuration of Lost Birds (dir. Michael Barlow, 2024).

For over fourteen years, Fletcher has immersed himself in performance and along his journey has been involved in Sydney Theatre Company’s Work Experience Week (2019), Young Wharfies Program (2020) and Australian Theatre for Young People’s Youth Advisory Board, YABbies (2021). In 2022, Fletcher wrote Saturn Fairy, as a part of creator Laneikka Denne’s The Monologue Collective, which was performed to sold-out audiences at Kings Cross Theatre and Shopfront Arts Co-op, published with Play Lab Theatre and nominated at the Sydney Theatre Awards for Best Production for Young People in 2023—the same year he was a notetaker in a writers room for an upcoming series with writer/director/producer, Jason Stevens. In 2024, he was dramaturg on Lea Šimić’s Your Blood Isn’t Better Than Mine at the Blue Room Theatre’s 600 Seconds — MAKES season.

Fletcher also has writing and editorial experience outside of the performing arts, including as Sub-Editor of Dircksey Magazine, making regular article contributions about student life and youth culture, encouraging fellow students to contribute. He recently returned from Tokyo, where he took part in Astray Magazine’s 2025 Freelance, Travel Journalism & Media Justice program. His goal is to share his art and words on more stages and platforms across Australia and worldwide.
