Shirley Burke Theatre

A nice modern little theatre which has easy access, two entry points to the auditorium seating & multiple aisles, large foyer with box office & bar, mens, womens & disabled toilets. Seating isn't the most comfortable, so maybe bring a cushion if you're going to be there awhile.

Great seating arrangement in small theatre delivers an intimate experience. Things I Know to be True" was a fascinating script choice delivered with moving authenticity by a highly professional troupe. The young actors were especially impressive."

Watched The Nitcracker here. The show was great and venue is beautiful and clean. Comfy chairs too. Staff are great.

Especially loved the matinee. My new best time to go to the theatre

Beautiful, gorgeous place & a spacious kitchen with all the facilities you need for an intimate or large function!! The only drawback & the ONLY reason I rate it 3 stars - solely based on the lack of carparks. There's limited 4hr parking spots because it fronts on a residential street! Really for a fantastic venue, a big shame for your elderly guests & young children who'll have to walk 3-5mins to the venue due to the lack of carparking spots! Especially made harder in winter with pelting rain & winds howling by! Great location, very central but even Parkdale station adjacent to the venue, offers limited parking spaces! Again great location, with a strip of delectable cafes & eateries around, however parking spots, few & far between!

Lawler's summer of the 17th Doll". Great acting for amateurs.A fantastic version.Only fault there were not any programs

It was my first time to the theatre and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience I love the intimacy of the theatre. The staff are friendly.

We use this venue occasionally for performances of our smaller ensemble. It's a nice little venue, but getting up the very narrow driveway to load into the stage door is problematic

We went to see Keeping up Appearances". It was Dreadful. They cast the wrong demographic to play Mrs Bucket ( don't get me wrong she was a very good actress ) but she did not suit the part. Some of the actors had very soft voices and we missed a lot of the dialogue. I think l only laughed once during the entire show. So for us it was a waste of time and money."

A terrific community asset that's had a recent upgrade - but such uncomfortable seats! The same as in a sporting stadium. Look good but no padding. I recommend to take a cushion.
