La Mama Theatre, the independent theatre organisation in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton, announced today it will cease public performances during 2025.

Caitlin Dullard, La Mama’s CEO and Director, confirmed the closure is a consequence of the organisation’s inability to secure organisational funding from Creative Australia for the 2025-28 period.
