Queensland Theatre 2022 Flood Appeal

Posted by Team APATA | May 12, 2022

The Queensland Theatre is hoping you will help get their beloved Bille Brown Theatre and foyer back in working order once again.

The base infrastructure and electricity have been restored but Queensland Theatre need to replace walls in the theatre, foyer, and dressing rooms, install specialised theatrical wiring and refit joinery in the dressing rooms, box office and bar while mitigating against possible future damage.

If there is something the Covid years have taught us, it is how to respond quickly to the unexpected – an important lesson when it came to the recent weather event. All weekend prior to the flood, our dedicated Production and Operations teams were on the ground relocating valuable lighting and sound equipment, removing the front row of seats in the Bille Brown Theatre, and saving the precious portrait of Bille Brown. Thanks to this quick-thinking, our losses have been greatly reduced.

Please consider supporting their 2022 Flood Appeal to restore the Bille Brown Theatre to it’s former pre-flood glory.
