La Boite Theatre Information

As Australia’s oldest professional theatre company, La Boite Theatre has been energising artists and audiences for almost 100 years. During this time, the Company has been a time capsule for the Australian voice along with other small national companies like La Mama, Darlinghurst Theatre, Griffin, and Australian Plays Transform. Working on the lands of the Jagera and Turrbul people, our vision is to re-birth the new Australian voice over the next hundred years to be the country’s most diverse theatre company. We strive to develop and profile new voices and artists, and share stories that promote cultural equity, social improvement, and interrogate moral and spiritual values and individual and collective responsibility. La Boite plays a crucial role in the local, state, and national arts sector as an incubator and producer of new work, with a dedicated focus on the sustainability of Queensland-based arts practice from emerging to established practitioners, producers, and arts leaders. In the past, and more critically in the future, La Boite interrogates the boundaries of theatre, creating pathways for local and national artists to mainstream stages in Brisbane and beyond. Mainstage works of note include: The Poison of Polygamy (with Sydney Theatre Company), Tiddas (with Queensland Performing Arts Centre & Brisbane Festival), An Ideal Husband, The Last Five Years, seven methods of killing kylie jenner (with Darlinghurst Theatre Company and Green Door Theatre Company), Away, Caesar, Naked & Screaming, The Neighbourhood (with Multicultural Australia), From Darkness (with Brisbane Festival), Laser Beak Man (with Dead Puppet Society) Single Asian Female, and Prize Fighter. La Boite has its sight set on being the most culturally relevant theatrical institution in the country by putting on the whole world on show. Discover more at laboite.com.au
