PRODUCING AT NEW THEATRE

CALLING FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR JANUARY 2024

New Theatre is now calling for EOIs from production teams to be considered for a three-week slot from 8 to 27 January 2024.

Each year, New Theatre offers its January time slot for outside hire as a way of giving theatre makers an opportunity to produce in a large space with great facilities and support at an affordable price.

WHAT YOU GET

• Use of our 150-seat theatre and 11m x 11m black box stage.
• Access to the theatre for bump-in from 9am on Sunday 7 January 2024.
• Support of our Technical Manager for an 8/h call.
• Use of our stock set, sound and lighting equipment.
• Rehearsal room hire and theatre workshop, subject to availability @ $15/hr or $100/day.
• Online ticketing, box office and front-of-house services.

You will need to supply your own technical crew (stage management, bump-in team, and lx/sx/av operators).

You will be responsible for marketing and publicity, but we’ll support your production through our various social media platforms and marketing networks and our eNews which goes out to 5K+ supporters.

If you have any questions, including hire rates and fees, please contact: Gemma Greer, Theatre Manager: manager@newtheatre.org.au or 9519 3403 Mon – Fri, 10am to 3pm.
