As you can see there is no slide show here with upcoming productions, we have put everything on hold until the second half of 2025. Please check out our previous productions under the What’s On tab.
Ad Astra is going through a period of massive, and incredibly exciting change. Our beloved Misterton Street blackbox theatre is set for demolition in the next few weeks. We have had an incredible journey in this building, taking it from an old run down 70s office block into a thriving, professional level theatre. We have been nominated for many Matilda awards and taken home a few. We have launched careers and created new theatre networks. Our Satellite Touring division has taken shows down the road to Baedeker Bar, down the motorway to Byron Bay and the freeway to open Qtopia in Sydney. Our Astra Nova scriptwriting showcase began in 2024 and we were impressed with the talent that Queensland showed us.
However, the future is looking even brighter with our new theatre complex comprising of two theatres, various rehearsal spaces and an exciting new foyer. It will be a grand new space for Brisbane’s thriving film and theatre industry. We have two brilliant productions - one to open each theatre and 2026 season is looking amazing. We will be able to showcase our Astra Nova winners and get our second year up and running. Our touring division is eyeing Melbourne and Canberra as well as Los Angeles. This is the beginning of a great future and we look forward to you coming along the entertaining ride!
Ad Astra has quietly woven itself into the tapestry of Brisbane's exciting array of professional theatres.
It has a commitment to produce a wonderful kaleidoscope of Australian and International works. The entire executive team are volunteers who work diligently to creates spaces try to provide opportunites for Queensland creatives to stay in Queensland. We are also dedicated to continuing our mission to showcase Queensland talent across the country and around the world.
