Phillip Street Theatre

Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT)

Australian Collection Development

The (succeeded by the Phillip Theatre) was a popular and influential commercial theatre and theatrical company of the 1950s and 1960s that became well known for its intimate satirical revue productions.

William Orr was the company’s founding Director of Productions, and Eric Duckworth was General Manager. After taking over the Mercury Theatre in Phillip Street, William Orr re- opened it as the Phillip Street Theatre in 1954, presenting a series of “Phillip Street Revues” and children's musicals, including Top of the Bill and Hit and Run (both 1954), Willow Pattern Plate (1957), Cross Section (1957-58), Ride on a Broomstick (1959), Mistress Money (1960).

These featured many noted Australian performers, many who later went on to become well known film, theatre and television personalities, including , Margot Lee, , , , Robina Beard, , Kevin Miles, Charles "Bud" Tingwell, , , , , , , Peter Phelps, and Gloria Dawn.

The Phillip Street Theatre was demolished at the time of Out on a Limb with and Dawn Lake in 1961, and the Company moved to the Australian Hall at 150 Elizabeth Street, near Liverpool Street. The company's name was then shortened to the Phillip Theatre in recognition of this move.

Content

Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance at the Phillip Street Theatre. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, e.g. brochure.

The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection.
