Marian Street Theatre

Marian Street Theatre is a performance venue in Killara on Sydney's North Shore with a restored stage and seating for around 400 audience members. The building houses both a main theatre space and facilities for drama instruction and rehearsals.

The building was constructed in 1906 as a memorial hall for local soldiers and served the community as a gathering place. In 1966 it was converted into a theatre under the direction of Alexander Archdale.

The name reflects its location on Marian Street and its deep roots in the local community. Today it functions as a place where young people discover their creative voice through performance.

The venue is accessible through multiple entrances and accommodates visitors comfortably within its spaces. It is located in a residential neighbourhood with convenient parking options nearby.

British actress Vivien Leigh attended the building in 1948 for a flower show, years before its theatrical conversion took place. This visit marks an interesting chapter that few visitors today are aware of.
