Calling all theatre makers!

The Door is Reopening!

After a highly successful pilot program, DOOR 3 will once again become the entry-point for three Queensland-based theatre collectives to stage bold and blistering independent theatre works in the Diane Cilento Studio — Queensland Theatre’s up-close and intimate venue whose namesake was a beloved actress and patron of the arts.

Be it a bold new Australian play ready for its debut, an extant script that needs to be seen or a re-tuned lo-fi classic ripe for reimagining — the space is all yours.

Queensland Theatre will be here for support — through rehearsal and production — but the important thing is that this is your space and your work to own. We’re after rigorous and robust theatrical work, with a story that is burning to be told.

• $5000 Investment from Queensland Theatre
• 100% of Box Office*
• 6 weeks of space
• 1 x Production Coordinator (4 weeks)
