OPEN THE DOOR is the bAKEHOUSE open access philosophy that is core to KXT. By developing deep community connections with Not-For-Profits and local organisations, we’ve been able to provide free tickets to those who would not otherwise have been able to attend theatre. We’ve worked with our partners at KX Hotel to make sure our theatre is accessible, with full lift access, gender neutral facilities, all ages access and relaxed performances. We’ve offered heavily discounted tickets to young audience members.
2020 has been a rough year. The cost of Covid to the arts community is immeasurable and we expect to feel its impact for years to come. We’ve spent the past few months developing work, offering peer networking, connecting early career artists with industry mentors and upskilling producers.
By reopening with a broad program of Artist Support we’re equipping producers and companies to quickly deliver quality productions, investing in the future success of their work.
We’re supporting 12 producers, 7 companies, 3 designers, 10 emerging writers and 6 directors. We’ve got a couple of covid commissions in the pipeline. We’re continuing our Covid response programs Phone a Friend and Pay It Forward, and rolling out further initiatives designed to keep us connected and moving forward together.
Open the Door is the bAKEHOUSE investment in the future of independent theatre.
