The Playhouse Theatre, Theatre in Perth, Australia
The Playhouse Theatre featured a traditional proscenium arch design with a total capacity of 427 seats across two levels and a 10.2-meter-wide stage.
Opening its doors on August 22, 1956, the Playhouse Theatre initiated its legacy with a performance of The Teahouse of the August Moon to 700 attendees.
The theatre served as home to the National Theatre Company until 1984, followed by the Western Australian Theatre Company through 1990.
Located on Pier Street next to St George's Cathedral, the theatre operated on Anglican Church land and provided bar and conference facilities.
The main lobby displayed a mural created by local architect Iwan Iwanoff, adding architectural distinction to the £65,000 construction.
