““when it comes to attempting the impossible, bAKEHOUSE has form, so it’s no surprise that they have once again, achieved what really shouldn’t be possible…” ”
After seven years in the heart of the Cross, bAKEHOUSE Theatre is about to move to their new home in the heart of the City.
Over the past almost three years, while other venues have closed and companies have struggled to stay afloat, KXT and bAKEHOUSE have thrived. By leaning into our Artist Support programs we were able to quickly invest in the development of work, the career progression of young artists, and the sustainability of our partner companies. Unlike other theatres, who rushed to cancel shows, KXT committed to assisting producers to prepare for postponed seasons.
In 2021 seasons at KXT received 16 nominations in 8 categories across 5 productions, taking out a total of 7 awards, equalling the awards received by the well funded Sydney Theatre Company, and far exceeding those in other venues. READ MORE HERE
In 2022 work that was developed by bAKEHOUSE during covid lockdowns has gone on to astounding success at KXT and other venues: including The Italians at Belvoir Street, The Monologue Collective at KXT and Shopfront, Fruit Box Theatre's Fruit Cocktail series, Natives at KXT and the multi-award winning Symphonie Fantastique.
In 2023 Sydney Theatre Company launches their season with Hubris and Humiliation by Lewis Treston, developed by Riley Spadaro at KXT during 2020's first long lockdown.
And now, we're growing. KXT on Broadway allows us to build a theatre that suits artists needs, expand our investment in artist support and development, and provide more opportunities for community engagement.

“At a time when many live venues in the city are suffering from Covid-fearful audiences on top of rising rents and gentrification, one little theatre in the heart of Sydney is gloriously bucking expectations. ”
