The Street Theatre is operated by The Stagemaster Inc. (trading as The Street), a not-for-profit arts organisation under an Occupancy Agreement with the ACT Government. After the destruction by fire of two adapted theatre venues, The Street Theatre was established in the year of 1994 by the ACT Government and so The Street began its life as a community theatre facility for Canberraā€™s community from students to professional and independent groups. The Season Incorporated was formed in 1996 to coordinate the marketing and administration of independently funded theatre companies performing work at The Street Theatre. This grew into a themed era within a carefully selected program featuring independent producers and their work. In 2002 The Season Incorporated was merged with The Street (The Stagemaster Inc.) setting up a single board of management to oversee the theatre building and its programming. The Street transformed through the merger with a venue-for-hire model fostering both community participation, the professional development of performance-makers, as well as the commercial presenters. In year 2007 brought leadership change and a significant shift in vision for The Street indicating the transition over a five year period from community venue-for-hire to particular content multi-arts space. With a focus on independent and professional contemporary live performance the next step was to take a fuller role as creative producers of processes and programs connecting conceptual development to creative development to rehearsal to production and touring.
