In 2023 KXT will roll out a licensed foyer, but for now the team is partnering with friends at a wine bar round the corner. But they’re adding in high ceilings and new cabling, level access, storage and expanded dressing rooms, kitchen and foyer facilities.Ī post shared by Kings X Theatre, Sydney a short walk from Central Station, with buses at the door, a few minutes from Spice Alley, Glebe Point Road, pubs and cafés, with handy free parking up the road. Don’t fear though, they’ll still be hanging onto all the quirks that are loved about KXT: the traverse stage layout (where the audience sits on either side of the stage, facing each other), 80 seats, funky foyer, art gallery, even the old wooden chairs. While the existing venue was designed to meet the needs of the room and the pub, the new location will allow the team to meet the needs of the artists and the audience. As Time Out writer Kate Prendergast said in a five-star review of a show at KXT earlier this year: “I cannot tell you what a joy it is knowing audacious and irreverent independent theatre like this is being made and performed in Australia." Run by Bakehouse Theatre Company and sandwiched between six levels of revelry at the Kings Cross Hotel, KXT has long been a hub for cutting edge theatre makers. KXT is also taking over the downstairs level – the old bank vault – which will be a home for year-round artist support programs, community engagement and showcases. Over the coming weeks KXT is being rebuilt on the ground floor, surrounded by vaulted ceilings and arched windows, complete with Juliet balcony. This heritage site in Ultimo is a grand old 1890 sandstone bank sitting on the corner of Broadway and Mountain Street. After six years on The Golden Mile, Kings Cross Theatre (KXT) has outgrown its home venue and is moving into the heart of the city to create a brand new theatre destination at 181 Broadway.
