Short Summary
Fab Nobs Theatre Inc is a non-for profit organisation, which is dedicated to producing three major musical theatre productions a year.Based in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Fab Nobs is known for not only presenting high quality and diverse productions, but for its unique theatrical space and strong ties with community involvement.
Fab Nobs formed in 2003, staged its first production A Slice of Saturday Night in a converted factory on Burgess Road, Bayswater. In 2008 Fab Nobs changed location to 33 Industry Place, Bayswater, where they transformed “the factory” into a theatrical space ideal for diverse productions.
The cabaret like atmosphere provides the perfect setting to stage unique concerts and productions that range from the classics: Little Shop of Horrors, A Little Night Music and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, to the contemporary: Next to Normal, The Drowsy Chaperone and Avenue Q, as well as the quirky Zombie Prom, Return to the Forbidden Planet and tick, tick, BOOM, just to name a few.
Fab Nobs is dedicated to involving all members of the community, whether it is to be on the stage or behind the scenes. Everyone is welcome. Fab Nobs are also devoted to giving back to the community, having made donations to many charities. Students have also had the opportunity to experience the ‘theatre world’ through a ‘Work Experience’ program, which has been highly regarded within the community.
What We Need & What You Get
For anyone who has been to a production at Fab Nobs, you’ll know that our venue does not do well with the elements; it’s either too hot or too cold! This has had a massive impact on when we put on shows throughout the year and has made rehearsing for shows a bit uncomfortable too. We would love to install new air-conditioning and heating units into the factory by Summer, but we need your help! Our goal is $7,000 this will include the purchase of the units and installation. Having these new units will mean our theatre will be more comfortable for our audiences and everyone who is involved with our various productions throughout the year. Every little bit helps!
Our perks include complimentary drinks and snacks from the bar, tickets for our upcoming shows and special mentions in our programs. It also means that you'll be toasty and warm in winter and nice and cool in summer when you catch our productions!
Even if we don't reach our end goal, any donated funds will go towards purchasing and installing the new unit into our theatre.
Other Ways You Can Help
Every little bit helps but we understand that sometimes donating isn't possible. All we ask is that people spread the word about our campaign!
Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help.
