WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK AT KXT...
“bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company launched KXT -Kings Cross Theatre at the end of 2015 to support Sydney’s indie theatre scene and the local arts community.
We’ve come up with a process that offers companies heaps of support and maximum autonomy
We’re investing in a sustainable excology for indie theatre”
HERE'S HOW WE'RE DOING IT...
since we opened in 2015 we've been offering
“TIME
that’s right, we give you the gift of time itself! Bumping in a show on Monday, trying to ready for a sneaky preview on Wednesday before opening on Thursday or Friday adds a huge risk to indie productions - if you’ve not hit the mark on opening night, your season isn’t long enough for word of mouth to make up for it. At KXT we offer at just over half price an EXTRA WEEK of time in the venue
SUBSIDISED BY bAKEHOUSE”
“A GREAT DEAL
along with a flat rate weekly hire and the bAKEHOUSE subsidised week, KXT is one of the most affordable theatres Sydney. Most importantly:
WE DON’T TAKE A PERCENTAGE OF BOX OFFICE
so when your show is a hit you’ll make money”
“ACCESS
we let you in on the Monday then offer easy key access to the space during your hire - the place is yours from midday to midnight”
“MARKETING SUPPORT
We promote your work across our social media platforms, subscriber base and marketing networks, including the Solotel chain of hotels and exposure at our neighbours within the growing KINGS CROSS ARTS PRECINCT
We’re a new venue, and we’re still building our venue audience. But we will be working with you on audience-building and profile-raising”
“A CRACKING TECHNICAL RIG
One of the best in Sydney. 3 phase power (of course!) a kick-ass lighting kit, state of the art desk and gear, great sound. Everything your designers need to make your work beautiful”
“ALSO
KXT supports local artists by exhibiting their work in our funky foyer - these exhibits are changed regularly so our audiences are never quite sure what they will encounter on their next visit to KXT. We’ll do our best to ensure the artwork ties in with your show”
“PLUS
through the bAKEHOUSE Step Up program we’re providing opportunities and support for new work, companies and artists. ”
“BUT WAIT...THERE’S MORE
we support your box office for previews and Opening Night; run your Opening Night event on the rooftop bar; host a special event during your season”
“we’re in the heart of Sydney’s newest arts precinct ~ in the heart of Sydney””
