All you need to know about marketing your event and hiring the Theatre Royal

In 1878 The Theatre Royal was built on market gardening land by a company of Oddfellows. The fa ade originally had a veranda that extended out over the footpath, native timber was used throughout, with rough sawn planks where there is now corrugated iron. The Theatre Royal is the oldest wooden theatre still in use in the Southern Hemisphere. In 1944 Repertory bought the Theatre Royal, saving it from conversion into a joinery shop!.
The Theatre closed at the end of 2005 as such major maintenance was needed that it was no longer possible to get a licence to operate the building as a theatre. The redevelopment aims were for international standard facilities for patrons and performers alike, while preserving the heritage values of the Theatre. Accordingly, preservation of materials, features and building elements were central to the project. Original hand painted wallpaper was uncovered, new paper hand made to match, and the colour palette returned to the original Victorian scheme
