NT SFF Queer Fringe logoNew Theatre is thrilled to be continuing our relationship with the Sydney Fringe Festival as a premier satellite venue.

In 2017, we’re curating Queer Fringe @ The New, putting the focus on LGBTIQI stories. New Theatre has a proud history of commitment to the LGBTQI community, recognized with the prestigious ACON Honour Award for Arts & Entertainment in 2016.

Queer Fringe @ The New will run 12 – 23 September. We’re keen to hear from artists working in all fields of performance – theatre, cabaret, stand-up, music, dance – who would like to present at our iconic, high-profile Inner West venue.

Selected productions will be presented in rep across the two weeks, with between 1 – 6 performances each.

Shows should ideally be no longer than 90 minutes in duration, and designed for quick get-in and turn-around.

  • Use of our 150 seat (148 seats, 2 wheelchair spots) 132 sq m black box theatre
  • Support of our Technical Manager at your bump-in for a 4/h call
  • Use of our stock stage, sound and lighting equipment
  • Reduced rates for rehearsal room hire and theatre workshop, subject to availability
  • Online ticketing, box office and front-of-house services


What you pay:

We charge $120+GST per performance (payable in advance), plus 35%+GST of gross box office or $125+GST per performance, whichever is greater.

You’ll be responsible for marketing and publicity to get those punters through the door, but we’ll support your production with a designated page on our website, and through our various social media platforms and marketing networks, including our eNews which goes out to 5K+ supporters.
