Belvoir St Theatre
A mainstay on the Sydney theatre scene with a roster of innovative works.
Overview
Sydneysiders know a thing or two about beloved creative spaces becoming endangered. Unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon. Fortunately, sometimes the cries of despair are heard and the venue is saved. In 1984, Nimrod Theatre was saved from redevelopment with droves of theatre lovers forming a syndicate to buy the building. Thus started the new life of Belvoir St Theatre.
Thirty years on, with government support from the Major Performing Arts Board of the Australia Council and Arts NSW, the theatre is one of the most acclaimed venues in the country. It continues to play host to the best and the brightest of the arts and entertainment industry, with a dynamic roster of works spanning its 'Upstairs' and 'Downstairs' theatres.
