About Us

A Brief History

Darlinghurst Theatre Company was formed in 1993 by Glenn Terry. 

In its history of operation, DTC has become one of the largest employers of artists and arts workers in the small-to-medium, not-for-profit sector, and a company that is renowned for its dedication to the integrity of artists vision, welfare and accessibility. 

Previously based in the building that now holds the Hayes Theatre, in 2013 the company moved to a new 200 seat theatre, The Eternity Playhouse, in the heart of Darlinghurst. By invitation from the City of Sydney we collaborated on the design and build of this world class artistic venue. The building is the former Burton Street Tabernacle, a 129 year old Heritage listed building. Named by Clover Moore, the Eternity Playhouse took its title from the work of legendary Sydney artist, Arthur Stace.  

We are supported through the City of Sydney’s Accommodation Program and the NSW Government, through Arts NSW.
