Griffin is passionate about welcoming as many people as we can to be a part of the stories we tell. There are heaps of ways for theatre lovers to connect with our productions, programs and events all year round.
Venue Access
Presenting work at different venues across Sydney and beyond in 2024 means more audiences than ever before can experience the theatre we make!

Unfortunately, the historic SBW Stables Theatre is not currently wheelchair accessible and may present challenges to people with limited mobility. The good news is that we’re changing this with our plans to redevelop the theatre. We can, however, reserve seating for people who have a vision impairment and/or those with limited mobility. If you have any questions regarding our theatre’s accessibility, please visit our website, or contact our Box Office team and we can talk through the options available to you or your theatre companion.
Griffin is a member of the Companion Card program. To find out more, we encourage you to contact our Box Office.
Live Captioning
Griffin’s 2024 productions include a Closed Captioned performance. Captions can be viewed on a dedicated screen in the SBW Stables Theatre or on a personal device, and a complimentary digital copy of the play script can be sent upon request.
Griffin is also a member of the Companion Card program. To find out more, we encourage you to contact our Box Office.

Monday Rush
We believe that theatre should be financially accessible and our ever-popular subsidised ticket program, Monday Rush, gives audiences an opportunity to see Griffin productions at an accessible rate. Despite having some of the best mainstage theatre ticket prices in Sydney, we acknowledge that these price points are not feasible for all theatregoers.
Every Monday at 12pm, an allocation of $25 Monday Rush tickets are released for a performance (or in the case of The Lewis Trilogy, multiple performances!) that week. These can be purchased online, or for those who are unable to book online, over the phone.
Here’s how it works:
1. At 12pm every Monday of a Griffin production’s season (Preview performances included), a handful of tickets will go on sale on our website for that evening’s performance.
2. First in, best dressed—if you have access requirements or you need assistance from Griffin in order to purchase Monday Rush tickets, please contact us at [email protected] or over the phone on (02) 9361 3817.
3. Your e-tickets will be delivered to you, ready for that evening’s performance.
Neighbourhood
For every Main Season production at Griffin, there is a special matinée performance for Darlinghurst locals, specific community groups and culture lovers who normally wouldn’t be able to see theatre or experience new Australian stories on stage.
This is Griffin Neighbourhood—our way of maintaining vibrant connections with members of our community with a cuppa, a friendly face and a free performance of a great new play! If you, or a group of people you know, would be interested in receiving updates about Griffin Neighbourhood performances, get in touch at [email protected].
Griffin Amplify
Amplify is Griffin’s Audience Development program, connected to two shows a year in our season. We engage leaders and consultants specific to the work we make to work with playwrights and creative teams to welcome new audiences to Griffin productions. We publicise the activations included in our Amplify program on our social channels.
