We are extremely excited to welcome the Melbourne Shakespeare Company into our creative Tribe at the Alex Theatre.

With the warmer weather setting in we are looking forward once again to getting out into our local gardens and other interesting locations to experience the Shakespearean works that the Melbourne Shakespeare Company impart.

As part of the Alex Theatre project we are developing the framework to create a sustainable model for entertainment & community centres

In the City of Port Phillip where the Alex Theatre is located, we are so fortunate to have an abundance of arts organisations and highly active communities participating within these.

One of the spaces we love is 'Linden New Art' located at 26 Acland Street.

Well worth following online, and of course when you can visit in person...

Love their work!
