Brisbane Arts Theatre, Theatre and theatrical troupe in Petrie Terrace, Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane Arts Theatre is a performance venue in Petrie Terrace with 151 seats arranged in a single-level auditorium. The stage features modern technical equipment that supports a range of theatrical productions.
Jean Trundle and Vic Hardgraves founded Brisbane Amateur Theatres in 1936, which later became Brisbane Arts Theatre. A permanent venue opened in Petrie Terrace during 1961, providing a home for ongoing theatrical work.
The company presents a rotating program of classic plays, modern works, and children's shows that reflect the theatrical interests of Brisbane audiences. These productions draw people from across the city who want to experience live performance in an intimate setting.
The venue stages multiple productions throughout the year with both evening shows and matinee performances. Advance booking is recommended given the intimate size of the space.
The company underwent a significant transition when it departed its longtime home venue after many decades. Since June 2024, the group has been staging productions at multiple locations across Brisbane, marking a new chapter in its history.
