After the first 50 years of the company, Sonja Kinnersly researched and completed a book about BNT's history. Liana Emmerson has worked to digitise a summary of the book for the BNT website that links to individual historic productions for detailed information, highlights key dates related to theatre in our community, and spotlights information sources like newspaper articles in a structured timeline.

This page puts our productions in context, highlighting common playwrights, plays we have staged more than once, and Australian and original works. It showcases local playwrights we have worked with, musicals we have staged, as well as a snapshot of the progress we've made in identifying this data in our nearly 300 productions. It also includes a full list of every production by year, with the playwright and director.

This is where you can find links to pages for every previous BNT production identified so far. Listed chronologically, after the most recent productions we have a quick list with links to certain decades and a live list of the productions that have most recently been updated or added to, with the date they have been updated. Typos and errors still abound in the list of almost 300 productions, and corrections and updates are being made constantly.

This page is in development and has come from the addition of extensive data related to the directors (previously called producers) of BNT productions. While updating the production data for historic shows, Liana wanted to highlight trends she was seeing and contributions that should be remembered.

In this vein, she hopes that further information gathered from the project will allow for showcasing many faces of BNT that have made extensive contributions in all volunteer areas, like front of house, set building or board contributions.
