STAGES Episode 545: GRAEME KEARNS

Foundation Theatres is a wholly Australian owned theatre owner, operator and production investor. Their current venues are two of Sydney’s premier large commercial theatres, the Capitol Theatre and Sydney Lyric, as well as a new intimate theatre, Foundry Theatre. 

Foundry Theatre at Sydney Lyric opened triumphantly in February with five sold out performances by Tim Minchin, with audiences blown away by the venue’s incredible sound, its intimate nature, and the unique and theatrical entry through backstage passageways.

The Chief Executive Officer of Foundation Theatres is Graeme Kearns. He has led the company since 2009. Prior to joining Foundation Theatres, Graeme was Commercial Director of one of the world’s leading event production companies. 

Whilst overseeing the organisation’s theatre operations, Graeme’s primary role focuses on the development of the organisation, strategic operations, theatrical investments and programming.

He joins STAGES to discuss Sydney’s theatrical temples, his own career trajectory and the business of show.
