Theatre Royal Backspace

The Theatre Royal Backspace is the performance home of the Tasmanian Theatre Company. It also hosts other quality live performances each year. The space is a focal point for the creative energy that enriches Hobart as a place to live.

The Theatre Royal Backspace is Hobart’s most intimate performance venue, hosting outstanding live performance across a diverse range of artforms.
From theatre, music, new media and dance to hybrid forms that defy classification, The Theatre Royal Backspace operates with a mission of sustaining a range of performance outcomes that combine to enrich Hobart as a place to live.
Conveniently located in Hobart’s CBD, The Theatre Royal Backspace is also the perfect venue for corporate events and media launches.
The Theatre Royal Backspace can seat up to 160 people and is licensed for up to 200 patrons.

The Theatre Royal Backspace is located behind the Theatre Royal, 29 Campbell Street.
Access is via the ‘stage door’ in Sackville Street (the laneway that runs between the Theatre Royal complex and the neighbouring Theatre Royal Hotel.)

Parking in this area is very limited, so allow extra time when travelling to the theatre by car.
You may wish to consider using the nearby Market Place Car Park – it’s the closest and cheapest parking option near the theatre.
