The Forum Theatre precinct in Leichhardt, in Sydney’s inner west, is in danger of becoming a childcare centre if the Actors Centre Australia (ACA) is unable to raise the $3 million it needs to keep facility running as a performing arts hub.
Italian Forum Limited (IFL), the not for profit company that owns the buildings and surrounds, has gone into receivership and is selling off its assets. Currently a childcare centre is leading the bidding process, which closes at 5pm Tuesday 26 November, at which point the administrators will announce the winning bidder.
