ControlRoom Melbourne has a new home at Alex Theatre in St Kilda!

We are excited to welcome AV1 into the Tribe at the Alex Theatre.

As we develop the creative hub in St Kilda it has been important to maintain a balance between our commercial and social objectives.

Aleksandar Vass OAM realised from the formation of the Alex Theatre Project the importance of developing strong relationships with businesses that align with our mission and could maintain a commercial focus while other partners were given time to develop more creative endeavours.

For some time now we have been looking for a leading technical events company, that has a strong client-focused to deliver excellence at the Alex Theatre for our growing corporate community. We are very excited to announce that AV1 has stepped into this role.

For further details about ControlRoom Melbourne and our virtual or hybrid event services visit https://av1.com.au/contact to connect with a team member at AV1.

Note from our General Manager.
Behind the scenes, individual Team members from AV1 during 2020-21 have been supporting The Red Brick Wall project and the development of a unique and diverse technical community. We thank the team at AV1 for being part of our Tribe and the support they have given their fellow comrades during uncertain times. ... See more

The hardest part of operating a Theatre at the moment is cancelling or postponing shows. We have had to do far too many in 2020 and now 2021.

Today unfortunately we are postponing 'Eden An Original Musical' a student-devised work presented by the AMAZING team at Albert Park College.

Within the Alex Theatre, we live for new Musicals so our thoughts are with the students and teachers involved in this project.

You have our support and remember "The show must go on!" ... See more
