What is the oldest theatre in Perth?
Thu, 21 Sept 2006, 07:20 pmA very quick posting, I'm just wondering as it has been kind of bugging me for a while now, which theatre in Western Australia is the oldest? Or even what was the first built?
The oldest record I can find is His Majesty's Theatre - 1904. Anything earlier?

The Bridgetown Rep were using a number of flats marked as the fuller
theatre, back in the 90’s & the frames were still in great
condition, except some needed to be reskinned. By the way the
Bridgetown Repertory was known as the oldest continuously run,
including world wars, community theatre in the state & arguably in
the country. Except I believe there might be a contender in SA?
However there was in the foyer at Bridgetown, a framed dated
certificate from the Roads Board, establishing the actual building.
However i believe it was a in existance a long way prior to WW1.
