The not-for-profit's primary form of income is ticket sales, and is further supported by donations – with numerous grant applications currently pending.

We are currently working to acquire DGR status for this entity

¹ Our regular season runs Thursday–Sunday nights, all year round, excluding the dates of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Melbourne Fringe Festival, during which time the theatre is hired out to external parties. There are also occasional dark Sundays when the theatre is used for Student Showcase performances managed by the education department.

The two companies have separate finances and governance, and operate via a mutual cooperation agreement.

Historically, the not-for-profit has always run at a loss, with the for-profit company being the largest single donor keeping it afloat.
