Lock out!
Please note that because of the intimate space, it is not possible to admit late-comers. We lock the doors at show time and in most cases are unable to transfer the tickets. Please ensure you leave plenty of time for traffic and parking. Our bar opens an hour before show time and we always have free tea and coffee so come early and relax.
Content Warnings
Note that most productions at La Mama are new works, usually being seen for the first time on opening night. The vast range of wonderful artistic teams primarily prepare marketing content for their own work and as such there will be inconsistencies in content warnings. If you have any questions or concerns or would like any more information about content warnings please call the La Mama office or email [email protected].
Accessibility
As part of the rebuild process, it was extremely important to everyone in the La Mama family that the new buildings be entirely accessible. This means that we are wheelchair accessible for both audience and artists. However, the building is Heritage listed which means there are some things that are outside of our control. The doorway to the theatre is approximately 1 metre wide. If you are a wheelchair user with a mobility device wider than this please get in touch before the show so we can try to meet your access requirements in the most comfortable way for you [email protected] or (03) 9347 6948.
