What’s On
Ad Astra
Ad Astra Theatre Company began life in 2018. Initially located in a repurposed 1970s office block in Misterton Street, Fortitude Valley. It remained until the theatre was demolished in 2025. In this beautiful space we produced 30 productions, showcased hundreds of emerging and re-emerging actors, directors, stage managers and many other professional level emerging creatives both on and off the stage.
In 2025, we moved to our exciting new complex on Petrie Terrace with four amazing spaces - Galaxy, Pluto, Cosmos and Halley’s Cottage. This new creative hub will be home to exciting Australian and International plays, new Queensland works, musicals, comedy and so much more.

Acknowledgement of Country
The Jagera and Turrbul people have been creating art and telling stories for tens of thousands of years on the land where Ad Astra now stands. We recognise them as the very first creatives on this land.
There is strong oral and archaeological evidence of First Nations people using elevated areas like what is now called Petrie Terrace for gatherings, ceremonies, and lookouts, given their prominence and vantage points.
Ad Astra acknowledges the Jagera people and the Turrbal people, as the traditional owners of the lands on which we work, rehearse and perform.
We pay respect to Elders past and present who continue the cultural and spiritual connections to country.
We recognise their contribution to the arts and continued traditions of storytelling.
