24.01.2022 Chookas to the creatives of The Ladykillers, opening tonight at Brisbane Arts Theatre. Tim Pierce's multilevel set is wonderful. The Ladykillers runs until 19 December.

23.01.2022 Kris (Images by Anderson) has been doing photography for us since The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in 2015. He consistently provides us with high quality, gorgeous images that truly capture the essence of whatever he is shooting. In what we can only describe as an incredible act of kindness, he has decided not to charge us for his next two shoots. Kris, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this thoughtful service to our beloved theatre. 2020 has been a diff...icult time for all and your dedication and kindness to us will never go unnoticed. To celebrate Kris, lets reminisce on some of our favourite shots hes given us over the years!

23.01.2022 How have you been getting your theatre fix the last few months? Stage Whispers had a chat with some of our Arts Theatre family during lockdown to discuss the importance of staying connected during these strange and unusual times.

22.01.2022 The Ladykillers is lining up to enter our rehearsal rooms very shortly, but first... AUDITIONS! Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet-but-strict Mrs Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped, but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only h...er parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music? Spaces are limited, so register for your audition via the link below and be quick! https://www.artstheatre.com.au/get-involved/auditions/

As they sit at their desks, were introduced to Richard, the successful, suave businessman with a seemingly perfect life - good job, beautiful wife at home, mistress in the office... yes, you read that correctly. But life gets a little difficult when he sends a raunchy email to the wrong woman. Youve Got Hate Mail is running every Friday and Saturday until September 05th.

03.01.2022 A very special congratulations to the cast, crew and creative team of Curious George: The Golden Meatball on your closing show today. Curious George and the Golden Meatball originally opened just one week before we made the incredibly difficult decision to shut our gates due to COVID-19 in March. This team of very talented individuals pushed through, and were ready to hit the stage again as soon as we could give them the all clear. Were very proud of you all, and thank you for your professionalism and dedication to your craft through these uncertain times.

02.01.2022 Its no secret that arts communities and businesses are suffering worldwide - we are not exempt to this. Our Board of Governance has made a decision going forward to raise ticket prices for some elements of our operation. We will review these prices when we are in a more financially viable situation. We hold our community very close to our heart, and want to be in our iconic venue for as long as we possibly can, providing you all with entertainment for many years to come. To... make this dream happen, we must adapt amongst the current conditions we find ourselves in. These increases will be seen mostly in our Childrens Theatre with tickets being raised to $25 per person, and the Family Subscription coming in at $220. For the next week, you can still get our popular Family Subscription for the original $199 price point via our website. If youre regular supporters of our Childrens Theatre, we recommend subscriptions to save as much as you possibly can - 12 tickets across a year with a Family Subscription can save you $100! https://www.artstheatre.com.au/subscribe/
