THE SUMNER
The Sumner is a state-of-the-art, 559 seat theatre offering advanced stage technology and a level of intimacy not previously seen in Australia. Named after our first Artistic Director, John Sumner, the Sumner has been designed to provide comfort and excellent stage views for all the audience, with a flexible stage that allows MTC to present a wide range of theatre styles, from large scale spectacles down to tightly-focused dramatic performances.
THE LAWLER
The Lawler is a flexible black-box studio with seating for 163 people, perfect for performances on an intimate scale. MTC's focus for the space is to produce more works of an experimental, cutting-edge and developmental nature, as well as presenting play readings of new works by emerging playwrights. The Lawler is regularly used by other companies, highlighting the diversity of performance being created across Melbourne and beyond.
