About our venue

Welcome to Unholy Playhouse – a sanctuary for divine mischief.

A sacred space for secular devotion – where once stood a preacher at the pulpit, our faith is now placed in the dancefloor. 

At Unholy Playhouse we reclaim and re-purpose worship, bowing our heads and bodies to culture, pleasure, community and the dirtiest of martinis.

Come commune with us at Sydney’s latest pop-up Arts and Performance venue within a historic former church.

Unholy Playhouse is produced by creative director and producer Kat Dopper, the mind behind larger-than-life Heaps Gay parties and the notorious Pleasures Playhouse – a previous series occupied in an abandoned Chinatown cinema, that cemented her reputation for activating overlooked city spaces.

This series is born from the desire to continue repurposing underused spaces, finding a new home for Sydney’s left-field nightlife and creative community.
