Anitas Theatre
Highlights
Overview
A large performing arts venue with old-school charm in Thirroul, Anita's Theatre hosts touring musicians, comedy acts, movie screenings and more.
The building was originally the King's Theatre, built for Wollongong Theatre in 1925. Since then it has gone through a number of closures – and even served as a roller-skating venue for a period – before it reopened in 2007 as Anita's Theatre after extensive renovations.
The space can also be hired for events, with a total capacity of 1200 standing or 800 seated.
All events sold through Ticketmaster.
