La Boite
La Boite is one of Australia's leading theatre companies and has been at the forefront of change and development in theatre in Queensland for 85 years. It is a platform for inspired collaboration, seeking to produce and present exceptional theatre that draws on the full grammar of performance. Words, music, movement, the visual arts and contemporary performance are among the contributors to a theatre that aims to invigorate minds and emotions. La Boite's Roundhouse Theatre is an epic-intimate space that calls for a theatre that celebrates the theatrical. It is an arena of inquiry and a coliseum of the senses. As Australia's only purpose-built theatre-in-the-round - and flexible enough to be used as a thrust stage with the audience on three sides - our home stage offers a distinctive theatre experience.
We create our own productions, but also seek collaborations with independent creative teams and new and established companies from Queensland and beyond. We have an appetite for new work, from both Australian and international artists, but also a taste for reimagining the classic works of world drama. We aim to converse with the times - to unwrap the past and scrutinise the present as a means of expressing our aspirations for the future. We believe that learning is a life-long process, and so our education program offers opportunities for people of all ages to reap the rewards of practical engagement with theatre and drama. Creativity has an increasingly important place in our lives, and these programs aim to unleash new ways of thinking, imagining and communicating.
