Montreal Community Theatre

The Montreal Community Theatre features a classic street facade with a cantilevered awning and decorative glass panels on Russell Street in Tumut.

Architects Kaberry & Chard designed this theater, which was built between 1929 and 1930 and commissioned by John J. Learmont, whose name forms an anagram of Montreal.

The theater became a central gathering place for various communities, including young people from Brungle Mission who traveled to watch films in the 1930s.

Located at 46 Russell Street, the theater maintains its original function as a cinema while preserving historical elements such as the geometric vault ceiling and proscenium arch.

The interior foyer displays white tiles and an auditorium that retains its original seating arrangement from the Inter-war Stripped Classical architectural period.
