The Playhouse Theatre, Theatre in Perth, Australia

The Playhouse Theatre is a theatre building in Perth designed with a traditional proscenium arch and two levels. It had a capacity of 427 seats and a stage measuring 10.2 meters wide for performances.

The theatre opened on August 22, 1956 with a performance of The Teahouse of the August Moon before 700 attendees. This opening event marked the beginning of the building's role as a major cultural venue in Western Australia.

The theatre served as home to the National Theatre Company until 1984, then hosted the Western Australian Theatre Company through 1990. These resident companies made the venue a center for contemporary drama in Perth.

The theatre stood on Pier Street beside St George's Cathedral, on land owned by the Anglican Church that had previously held the deanery tennis court. It was a proscenium-arch auditorium with a raked seating area, plus bar and conference facilities. It closed in January 2011 and was demolished in October 2012.

The theatre stood on Pier Street land owned by the Anglican Church, on the former site of the Church of England Deanery tennis court. It was built for £A 65,000 to a design by the local firm Sheldon & Krantz, and its main lobby held a mural by brutalist architect Iwan Iwanoff.
