Our Mission
The philosophy of The Phoenix Theatre is to have a theatre space which is not controlled by one resident company. The space is to be a venue where all arts workers can come together and generate performance based work in a supportive and nurturing environment.
The Primary objectives for the theatre are to:
Promote performing arts in the local area
Provide performance and rehearsal venues for professional and amateur theatrical groups in the local area
Promote arts which are incidental to, or associated with performance art in the local area
Promote and provide education and training in performance art and associated professions in the local area
The manifesto and operational guidelines are a product of extensive consultation with council, based on the achievement of these primary objectives and an assessment of the needs of the performance based arts community.
The Phoenix Theatre has been set up to be an alternative to existing performance spaces in more ways than simply its physical space.
