Rechabites vs Subiaco
Mon, 15 June 2009, 10:38 pmSimple Question:
It has been suggested that Subiaco Arts Centre is the alternative venue now that the Rechabites Hall ahs been closed - is this the only alternative (in comparison with cost, fee's and location)???
I look forward to your thoughts - suggestions

The Subiaco Arts Centre is
The Subiaco Arts Centre is considerably more expensive than what the rechabites was... I can't remember the exact fee off the top of my head. However, the facilities at the subiaco arts centre are also MUCH better than they were at Rechabites. For example Subi arts centre dosen't shudder in a light breeze (ok... maybe i'm taking some artistic license there... OR AM I? *raises eyebrow*).
I can see the studio space being a possible alternative for a company on a rechabites budget, the large space is considerably more expensive.
Apart from the polished floorboards in the studio space (which I am told are heritage listed, hence the polish) it's a nice space to perform in and intimate as those who saw "Life of Galileo" will attest. Like Rechabites the seating in Subi Studio space can be reconfigured and can be configured into raked seating as well.

The Astor
I have been in contact with hiring the Astor, and as far as I know it is available, but astronomically expensive in comparison to Subi, and deffinitely the rechabites. It is also very big and imposing, you would want something large cast, and not very intimate to pull of the right atmosphere.
A comedy show would work well because people are used to the whole comedy, gala, giant space feel, but the astor is less intimate than say his majesty's and almost as large.

The Astor. In Mount Lawley. All pink and green.

old mill theatre?
Old Mill Theatre is open for hire when it doesn't clash with our own seasons - we have several outside hires per year, generally including at least one or two full theatre seasons.
As long as we have plenty of notice (generally 12 months for a full theatre season) and you're somewhat flexible about your dates, it can be a good option. Relatively cheap hire, very central, and a nice theatre to perform in.
Contact details are on our website.
