Playbox Theatre Company, Australia
- Playbox Theatre Company, Australia
Playbox Theatre Company was a company dedicated to supporting Australian playwrights and producing new Australian plays throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The company was originally called "Hoopla!" and was housed in Melbourne's Russle Street Theatre before it was destroyed in a fire. In 1991, the company moved to new premises at the Malthouse. In 2003, under incoming Artistic Director, Michael Kantor and Executive Producer, Steven Armstrong, the theatre company changed its name to Malthouse Theatre. While it continues to produce new Australian theatre, the company no longer limits itself to new Australian texts.
