The Wharf Theatre, Theatre venue in Walsh Bay, Sydney, Australia
The Wharf Theatre occupies Pier 4 and Pier 5 within a converted wharf building in Walsh Bay and houses two separate performance spaces. Together these rooms provide seating for approximately 539 people.
The building originated as a working wharf known as Pitman's Wharf dating to 1829. It transformed into a theatre facility that opened in 1984 as a new venue for performances in Sydney.
The venue has served as a home for the Sydney Theatre Company, showcasing work by Australian artists and international guests to audiences who came specifically for theatre. The location became known as a gathering place for people interested in live performance.
The venue sits along Hickson Road within the Walsh Bay precinct and is accessible by walking through the harbourside area. The two spaces serve different purposes and types of performances.
The entrance walkway along the wooden pier displays framed posters from past productions, guiding visitors through decades of theatrical work. This visual record shows the evolution of shows staged here over time.
