Important Notice

Very Special ILT Fundraising Night
Scenes from a Separation
Thursday 27 May

Any of you who have been around the theatre in the last couple of months may or may not be aware of the amazing transformation which has taken place in the Jean Pratt annexe. We now boast a handicapped shower and toilet facility, a large kitchen, dressing rooms and a storage area all painted and ready for floor coverings which have been ordered. These additions now mean a permanent, designated lighting and sound area in the Jean Pratt building.

We still have a fair bit to do to complete this transformation to our satisfaction in the way of large and small kitchen appliances and curtaining of the dressing rooms etc. To help us to acquire these desired final touches, a fundraising Theatre Night is planned for Thursday 27 May for the play Scenes from a Separation.

This could be your way to contribute to the largest building project we have undertaken since the beautiful courtyard, bar and kitchen facilities (completed in 1994) the air conditioning of both theatre buildings (2003-2004) and the refurbishment of the theatre auditorium (2007). It will also be a great opportunity to catch up with your theatre friends.

Tickets are $25 per person which includes a supper of home-made savoury and sweet finger food at interval. Following the play we hope you and your friends will stop off at the Jean Pratt building to view the results of our latest project which we feel will benefit us all. At some time during the year each and every theatre member will attend a meeting, play reading, workshop, rehearsal or perform in this building.

The Jean Pratt Building was completed in 1982 and named in honour of Jean Pratt (or Mrs Pratt as we all called her). We credit her with the survival of our theatre group during the difficult years for all live theatre during the 1960s and are certain that she would be so thrilled to see the facility improved to this standard.

Ring Robyn 3812 3450 or 0412 446 580 to book your seats.



Our 2010 program has now been set and group booking nights we be available soon by contacting Robyn Flashman 07 3812 3450

Facilities 
The Incinerator is an intimate theatre seating an audience of eighty. The theatre has a beautiful courtyard area where you can enjoy your supper after the show. This area is wheelchair accessible, as are the toilet facilities. 

We are a fully licensed venue with a bar from which your guests can purchase a full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices. The bar opens for 45 minutes before the show, at interval, and for up to an hour after the show. 

Our modern kitchen is equipped with microwave, fan-forced commercial oven, refrigerator and dish washer. The kitchen also has a large urn, tablecloths, cutlery, crockery, glasses and coffee mugs which are available for use on your night. There will be no need for you to work in the kitchen as the theatre members rostered on will set up the tea and coffee stations, plate up the food for your supper and do the washing up. 

You are welcome to use the driveway area near the stairs and the ramp to offload anything you may need for the night and to pack it up afterwards. Also people with mobility problems, including those in wheelchairs may find it easier if driven to the access ramp. However, all vehicles must be removed from the theatre surrounds for the duration of the performance. 

The Bar and Kitchen staff will be on site from 7pm to welcome you and assist you in any way to make your event a success. 

For the added comfort of our audiences the theatre has reverse cycle air-conditioning and we also have gas heaters for use in the courtyard on cooler nights. 

It is an enjoyable tradition at Incinerator Theatre that cast and crew join the group after the play. This affords the chance to meet the actors, the director and stage crew and to discuss the performance.
