Griffith in south-central New South Wales sits happily in a regional concert and theatre touring circuit that includes Goulburn, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Orange, and Bathurst. A wide range of companies regularly do the rounds, including Sydney Dance Company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, as do contemporary concert tours.

Griffith’s Regional Theatre has a capacity for 520 and punches well above its weight in drawing stops for all of these tours. But, with their small and aging house PA not up to the task of amplifying most concert acts, Technical Operations Coordinator John Matkovic was getting sick of sound techs saying “Yeah…nah” when given the house spec, and then pulling their own rig in. 

Twin Towns’ Operations and Production Manager, Lachlan Donaldson, isn’t one to waste a good crisis. When the club was effectively put into hibernation due to the first covid lockdowns, and most of the staff had been sent home, Lachlan had to find another gear.

Marquee Sydney is nearing its 10^th year of operations. Within the nightclub industry its often joked that nightclub years and dog years are pretty much the same. 10 years as the premier nightclub in Sydney might as well be the equivalent of 20 or 30 years of running for any other type of business. Nightclubs are notorious for bursting on the scene then, like a supernova, flaming out just as quickly. So what’s Marquee’s secret?
