A night at Milk Crate Theatre is one you never forget. The audience is colourful, chaotic, dysfunctional, extremely outspoken and the performances are some of the most moving, warm hearted and often hilarious nights of theatre one can experience. Everyone is a potential performer, all opinions are heard, issues are thrashed out live on stage and finally everyone celebrates together with food. Top this off with an extensive program of workshop/rehearsals where participants can improvise, dream, create and tell their stories, you have Milk Crate Theatre - Australia’s only theatre company solely dedicated to the homeless and disadvantaged community.
It is a joint initiative between Darlinghurst Theatre Company (www.darlinghursttheatre.com) and Wesley Mission’s Edward Eagar Lodge (348a Bourke Street, Surry Hills,
www.wesleymission.org.au) that aims to create challenging and inspiring theatre with, by and for the homeless and disadvantaged community.
