A residency program in the Tower Theatre, five paid placements across a range of disciplines, and an intensive residency program for writer-director pairs will be offered by Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre in 2016.

The three initiatives – the IN HOUSE Tower Residencies, the Besen Family Artist Program, and Co.Lab: Malthouse Theatre Writer Director Initiative – are made possible by Malthouse Theatre’s philanthropic partners: the Sidney Myer Fund, the Besen Family Foundation with Debbie Dadon, and the Copyright Agency Limited’s Cultural Fund.
