The moment that the red neon sign lit up the façade of the Rebel Theatre, Australian Theatre for Young People’s (ATYP) new home on the harbourfront at Dawes Point – so-named for its major donor, alumna and ATYP ambassador Rebel Wilson – should have been a joyous one.
And it was. The purpose-built facility houses the company’s first dedicated theatre. Part of the NSW government-championed Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, it marks a new era for the company.
