An announcement of the theatre’s collapse urged ticket holders to ‘charge back’ the cost of admission through their credit card provider.
The company had been a major employer and cornerstone of Sydney’s entertainment and art scene since its formation in 1993 by industry legend Glenn Terry.
Ticket sales have plummeted in recent years in the wake of Mr Terry’s retirement in 2022 which sparked the exodus of several other senior directors.
