Committed to delivering a premium, professional, yet affordable theatre experience for both artists and general public alike, we have been continuously evolving and self-improving to live up to our promises. After years of working with independent theatre producers, one common struggle we've seen is with the creation of professional marketing materials, a crucial part of our show promotion. To help make high quality artwork more accessible, we have invested in the creation of an easy-to-implement toolkit of branded templates and guidelines for our producers to generate their own marketing collateral.....entirely FREE OF CHARGE!
Or if you'd prefer to hand over the job to a professional, we have partnered up with Art For Artists, the creator of our new branding assets, to have all your design needs taken care of for $200+gst, as a special package deal to our producers.
To assist even further, we are also offering to cover up to 50% of this package ourselves when combining it with certain venue hire arrangements (*Ts&Cs apply) for the next 6 months! We want to make the best effort possible to give our producers the greatest chance of success.
Get in touch now ([email protected]) and find out how we can help your show stand out regardless of experience and budget!

They are dazzling, daring and ready to belt the Broadway tunes like the Sassy Queens they are.
