bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company launched KXT - Kings Cross Theatre to support Sydney’s indie theatre scene and the local arts community. We offer companies heaps of support and maximum autonomy. We’re investing in a sustainable ecology for indie theatre

HERE'S HOW WE'RE DOING IT

TIME
that’s right, we give you the gift of time itself! Bumping in a show on Monday, trying to be ready for a sneaky preview on Wednesday before opening on Thursday or Friday adds a huge financial and artistic risk to indie productions. At KXT we offer an EXTRA WEEK of time in the venue. That's a full week of tech, with 4 previews before opening.

A GREAT DEAL
along with a flat rate weekly hire, KXT is one of the most affordable theatres in Sydney. Most importantly: WE DON’T TAKE A BOX OFFICE SPLIT so when your show is a hit you’ll make money, and be able to pay your artists

ACCESS
we let you in on the Monday then offer easy key access to the space during your hire. By the time you get to Opening Night you've had more than 130 hours in the venue.

MARKETING SUPPORT
We promote your work across our social media platforms, subscriber base & marketing networks, and work with you to craft your promotional campaign

A CRACKING TECHNICAL RIG
One of the best in Sydney. A kick-ass lighting kit, state of the art desk and gear, great sound. Everything your designers need to make your work beautiful

PLUS
through the bAKEHOUSE Step Up program we’re providing opportunities and support for new work, companies and artists. Which means when you run a season at KXT you’re working amongst the most exciting community of emerging creatives in the country

AND

KXT is home to multiple value-adding programs: The Vault at KXT; Storytellers Festival; KXT Crossroads events; KXTeethcutting Play Reads; The Laboratory; StoryLines. When you’re programmed at KXT you become part of a lively and engaged community of artists & audience

ALSO
KXT supports local artists by exhibiting their work in our funky foyer - these exhibits are rotated 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

BUT WAIT...THERE’S MORE
we support your box office for previews and Opening Night and run your Opening Night event on the rooftop bar, so you can focus on getting your show ready for opening

we’ll work with you to host and manage partnerships and events in line with your season

through a program of production placements for emerging artists we’ll support you with more personnel and connect you with the next generation of artists
