KXT is a crucible for independent theatre-making, managed by custodians bAKEHOUSE Theatre, and presenting in our newly refurbished theatre on Broadway. Our programming is guided by three central ideas:
Space to Play: giving space to all artists — from emerging to established — to present bold visions, develop craft, and play with big ideas in a supported environment.
This is Now: the need for theatre to respond to our times. Daring explorations of contemporary issues, as well as continuing our commitment to finding pathways for historically-marginalized voices to reach the stage.
The Experimental: works that push form, think outside of traditional boundaries, and that provoke thrilling new audience experiences.
All of our programmed works and artists are supported through a dedicated co-producing model, audience and community engagement and opportunities to develop work. KXT continues to be a vital pathway for new Australian writers, directors, designers and performers to develop their careers, with many starting at KXT before reaching larger companies and stages.
At KXT, we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all members of our community. We are committed to promoting equity and accessibility in all aspects of our theatre, including casting, programming, and audience engagement. The physical and mental safety and well-being of our community members and audience are paramount.
