Old Fitzroy Theatre, Theatre venue in Woolloomooloo, Australia
The Old Fitzroy Theatre is a performance venue located in the basement of a historic hotel in Woolloomooloo, offering shows in an intimate space with around 58 seats. The theatre room itself is small and close to audiences, giving each show a personal feel.
The theatre was founded in 1997 and has gone through several management changes since then, including under Tamarama Rock Surfers until 2012. Since 2014 it has been run by Red Line Productions and has become an enduring cultural institution.
The venue hosts regular performances by local and international artists, with a strong focus on independent theatre and emerging voices. Visitors encounter productions that often premiere in Australia and support the work of up-and-coming talent.
The theatre is located on Dowling Street and is usually accessible by public transport. The box office opens one hour before each performance, and it is important to note that late arrivals are not admitted.
It is Australia's last remaining pub theatre and combines stage performances with dining inspired by French-British style. This combination makes a visit special, as you can eat before or after the show in the same location.
