To the people of Sydney – go to the theatre!

Going to see a live performance is really fun and oddly artistically satisfying. Yet, Australian’s don’t tend to go to the theatre very often.

Why?

1. Do we think it too expensive?

2. Are we too lazy?

3. Are there not enough of them located close to home?

I can’t fix points 2 and 3 tonight, but I can give some suggestions towards point 1.

Darlo Theatre
Darlinghurst theatre, is pretty cheap at $30-37 a ticket, however if that’s still too much you might want to consider volunteering. All you have to do is collect tickets on the night (you still get to to watch the show), and then as a thank you they will give you two free tickets when you’re done, so you can go and see it again with a friend.

Last minute tix
http://lasttix.com.au/ sends emails once a week or so with its latest deals, at the moment you can get 50% off the Boy from OZ and Dr Zhivago.

Riverside Theatre
Parramatta’s Riverside Theatre has some great plays and is only $35 for an adult ticket. You can get the ferry here from Circular Quay to make it extra fun.

Hmm, maybe I can sort out point 3…Small local theaters have been around for years, a great way to support your local community and have a cheap night out.

Some major ones are below:

Hunters Hill: http://www.huntershilltheatre.com.au $25 a ticket

The Guild Theatre in Rockdale: http://www.guildtheatre.com.au

The Peninsular Theatre in Narrabeen: http://www.peninsulatheatre.com.au

Arts Theatre Cronulla http://www.artstheatrecronulla.com.au

Pavillion Theatre in Castle Hill http://www.paviliontheatre.org.au/Season11.htm

So, no more excuses!
