This 40-year-old creative centre and venue sits in the heart of St Kilda, with a focus on platforming independent theatre and emerging artists from diverse backgrounds. Since being founded in 1980, Theatre Works has gone through many iterations to become one of the longest-running independent theatres in Australia.
The venue and company presents a varied program each year, with a particular slant towards the ambitious and the unusual. The goal: providing an incubator for artists and their work.
You can expect to find a huge range of different styles of productions at Theatre Works, from the serious to the hilarious and all things in between. The venue also often turns into a hub during Melbourne Fringe Festival and Midsumma Festival.
