The records were donated to the National Library by Belvoir Street
Theatre in 1993. They include records on the various shows produced by Company
B, general correspondence, correspondence with the New South Wales Minister of
the Arts, correspondence of the Artistic Council and the Board of Directors,
publicity material, minutes of meetings, memberships, wages and other
administrative papers and subject files.
Some of the correspondents include Sue Hill, Chris Westwood, Martin
Brown, Barbara Allen, Deborah Collins and Di Ridoutt.
Note on the arrangements and description of the records
The Belvoir Street Theatre has kept the records in good order and in
files. The file titles and the arrangements of records within the files have
been preserved by the Library. The Library has, however, arranged the
collection into 18 series.
The Library compiled the finding aid based on the inventory supplied by
Belvoir Street Theatre.
The Belvoir Street Theatre evolved from the Nimrod Theatre, which was
founded in 1970 and closed in 1987.
In 1984 a syndicate, known as Belvoir Street Theatre Ltd., was formed by
Sue Hill and Chris Westwood to raise money to buy a building in Belvoir Street,
Surry Hills. To achieve its gaol, the syndicate formed a non-profit public
company, called Hekla Holdings but operating under the name of Belvoir Street
Theatre, to buy the building. Between 1984 and 1988 the director of Hekla
Holdings was Viv Fraser and its secretaries were Sue Hill and Chris
Westwood.
In 1984 members of the syndicate also formed a non-profit organisation,
known as Company B, to manage the theatre and produce the shows. Until 1994
members of the syndicate annually elected up to nine artistic directors and
appointed a general manager. Chris Westwood and Sue Hill shared the position of
General Manager between 1984 and 1988, Robyn Kershaw between 1989 and 1994,
Louise O'Halloran between 1994 and 1997 and Rachel Healy was appointed General
Manager in 1997. Neil Armfield was appointed as the Company's single Artistic
Director in 1994.

Belvoir Street Theatre kept its administrative records for each
production in two separate series. Although the records contained in Series 1
and 2 are very similar, the Library has decided to preserve this original
arrangement.
The records include correspondence, agreements, contracts,
invitations, budget and expenditures, schedules, minutes of meetings, booking
records, box office and banking reconciliation sheets, invoices and receipts,
press releases, cuttings, advertisements, memoranda, submissions for financial
assistance and sometimes brief biographical notes on some the actors. |
