The Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation was founded in 1986 as a charitable organisation to benefit the Australian Performing Arts. It originated when the Griffin Theatre Company, who were doing such valiant work in promoting, Australian plays and playwrights, appealed for somebody to save the historic Stables Theatre at Kings Cross. This was done by our purchasing the Stables Theatre and the Griffin Theatre Company has benefited by having a rent free theatre (less outgoings) since 1986.
