Garrick Theatre

The Garrick Theatre stands as a well-preserved performing arts venue located at 16 Meadow Street in Guildford, Western Australia, featuring original architectural elements from the early 20th century.

Originally constructed in 1853 as part of the Guildford Convict Depot serving as a commissariat store, the building was transformed into a theatre in 1932 under architect John Pidgeon's design.

Named after renowned 18th-century English actor David Garrick, the theatre has operated continuously as Western Australia's longest-running amateur theatre group, fostering local dramatic arts for over 90 years.

The theatre hosts regular performances, workshops, and community events with tickets available through online platforms like TAZtix, offering modern amenities including updated lighting, air-conditioning, and security systems.

The building uniquely combines its convict-era heritage as a former commissariat store with its theatrical function, featuring a stage revolve installed in the 1990s for dynamic performance staging.
