Venue Comments

"Live performances began there in the twenties and the first film screened was in January 1947. Between 1952 and approx. 1959 films were regularly screened there by the Adult Education Board, and part of the early Festival of Perth was staged there. Summer seasons have continued most years since then, as part of Perth's International Arts Festival which in 2003 celebrated its 50th year of operation." (Bertand 2001)
