Darlinghurst Theatre Company was originally based at the Wayside Theatre in Kings Cross. The Sydney hail storm destroyed it's roof and Darlinghurst Theatre Company was sent in search of new home. South Sydney Council assisted by providing a venue with affordable rent to a theatre company.

With support from The NSW Ministry of the Arts, The Grosvenor Club and many individuals, $500,000 worth of internal renovations was completed and a new Sydney Theatre was born in Potts Point. At the time of the rennovations, Her Majesty's Theatre was sadly closed. Some of Her Majesty's found a new home at Darlinghurst Theatre Company, such as the theatre seats, dressing room mirrors, theatre lighting, and bar equipment including the original bar top.

Darlinghurst Theatre co-produces plays with a wide range of independent theatre producers and groups. We focus on new Australian works whenever possible, and as part of that focus, present the annual "In The Raw" Festival, which gives emerging playwrights the opportunity to mount new productions, with six new works premiering over three weeks.

Darlinghurst Theatre Company also has a secondary arm, Darlo Drama, which runs three distinct terms of professional acting classes, which can be followed up with advanced activity dedicated classes and tutorials, and gives members the opportunity to appear in Studio Productions which are mounted at Darlinghurst Theatre four times a year.
