The Red Rattler’s 3rd Birthday Party

Once upon a time, the dream of a legal DIY, warehouse-style performance venue was just a glint in the Rats' eyes.

Overview

Three years ago, a group of five local artists came together to realise their dream of a legal warehouse-style performance venue. The Red Rattler was born, an alternative space containing a full PA, stage, LED lighting rig, projector and screen, licensed bar, three non-residential artist studios, and a rooftop garden — all without the stress of high rent and developers. To celebrate the establishment and running success of this space, the Red Rattler Theatre Inc is throwing itself a third birthday party.

The five original 'Rats', as they call themselves, dug deep into their pockets to fund the conversion of this building into the creative playground it is today. The Red Rattler Theatre Inc is a not-for-profit entity; entry to the party is by donation, which goes toward running costs and the fund to hire a part-time general manager (all current Rats work on a voluntary basis). No matter how much or how little you can contribute, stop by this event to congratulate the theatre on promoting a DIY artistic space in Sydney.

Alternative donations are also accepted. Check out the website to see how to contribute.
