Darlinghurst Theatre Company

18/06/2024

As of 17 June 2024, the Directors resolved to place Darlinghurst Theatre Limited (“Company”) into Voluntary Administration.

Jonathon Keenan and Peter Krejci of BRI Ferrier have been appointed Joint & Several Administrators of the Company. Given the Company’s financial position, all trading has been suspended and no events will go forward until further notice.

Administrators are exploring all options to save or restructure the business. If any parties are interested in assisting with that recapitalisation and restructuring process, they should contact the Administrator’s office urgently.

Ticketholders should explore options to recover their funds via a “chargeback” through their credit card provider.

The Administrators will be issuing more communication to all creditors and stakeholders in the coming days.

For any enquiries about the Administration please contact Frane Babic on 02 8263 2333 or [email protected].

We appreciate your support and understanding during this challenging time.

Did you know? Only 2% of Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s annual income comes from government funding. We depend on ticket sales and tax-deductible donations from our generous supporters to cover the remaining 98%. Yet, reaching that 98% has been an uphill battle for us this financial year. We’ve been tirelessly fighting to keep our doors open amidst financial challenges, and now, more than ever, we need your support to ensure the future of DTC’s ambitious legacy.

In 2023, DTC achieved remarkable milestones. We curated a vibrant four-show season for Sydney World Pride, took two productions to Melbourne—the critically acclaimed seven methods of killing kylie jenner at Malthouse Theatre and Once the Musical at Comedy Theatre—presented the Australian premiere of the Broadway hit Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and toured our acclaimed production Overflow to QLD and VIC.

Following such a monumental year, you may have noticed we’ve pressed pause on our 2024 programming to regroup. During this downtime, we’ve been busy presenting events at Eternity Playhouse, exploring exciting partnerships, and planning upgrades to our theatre and technology. We remain steadfast in our commitment to being a theatre for everyone. But to achieve this, we need everyone’s help. Contributions of all sizes are deeply appreciated, and donations over $2 are tax deductible.
