Twelfth Night Theatre, Brisbane

The Boutique Twelfth Night Theatre is located in the leafy inner Brisbane suburb of Bowen Hills. It’s seating capacity is 520 and it is popularly known as the theatre where every seat is a good seat and where every show is the best.

Since 1988, Twelfth Night Theatre has been owned by Gail Wiltshire. It has the distinction of being the only privately owned theatre in Australia. Neither the theatre nor its productions receive any form of Government subsidy.

It was built by the community in 1969. Twelfth Night Theatre stands on land donated by Majorie and Brian Johnstone. In 1980, the Queensland Government of the time sold the theatre into private ownership and it is because of the support of the people of Brisbane that it stands today; a gracious and welcoming theatre presenting popular productions.
