Policies

The Blue Mountains Theatre will deliver an annual theatre program that strives to seek a balance between the requirements of local, community-based not-for-profit performing arts organisations and delivering a robust, diverse artistic and commercial program of national and international scope.

The commercial performances assist the long-term economic viability of the theatre program, working to offset the expenses associated with providing the registered not-for-profit community-based program. It is important to provide a vibrant commercial program to continually entice new audience members to the venue for its long-term economic viability.

This programming policy is focused on increasing the demographic of the audience by including a range of performances catering to a diverse demographic of visitors including Blue Mountains residents and visitors to the area.

The policy sets out the decision-making framework for general theatre programming at the Blue Mountains Theatre, as distinct from its community-based program.
