Belvoir St Theatre says it will press ahead with planned performances after a fire “devastated” its Marrickville workshop, destroying or damaging a large collection of items used in productions. Multiple outlets report that the blaze gutted the workshop and left the company with significant losses, including props and memorabilia dating back decades.
The affected materials include items accumulated over many years of staging shows, and the company says the damage has removed key physical resources from its production pipeline. Despite the extent of the losses, Belvoir St Theatre indicates it is continuing planning and working to recover what it can while maintaining operations.
The reports describe the fire as severe and focus on the workshop’s destruction and the impact on the theatre’s collections. While details of the cause of the fire and any investigations are not highlighted in the provided summaries, all outlets agree on the core facts: a devastating workshop blaze in Marrickville, extensive damage to props and memorabilia, and the theatre’s decision to keep shows going.
