Opened in 1888, Albany's Town Hall is the iconic building of the main street. Inside the grand old stone building, with its four-faced clock tower, is a comfortable 310-seat theatre with a full concert sound and quality theatre lighting.
In 1983, the Town Hall was converted to an intimate theatre and is part of the regional touring circuit of performing arts in WA. It has become recognised as a superb performance venue offering performers an immediacy to their audience that is seldom found in Australian theatres.
Over the decades, the Town Hall has been the scene of council meetings, WA's first regional meeting of State Parliament, thrilling theatre, exquisite music performances, risque comedy and the community's annual astonishment at the abilities of young performers in the Music Eisteddfod and school stage shows.
The Town Hall is frequently used for conferences and seminars and has a comprehensive range of technical equipment including data projection, data networking, concert sound and theatre lighting. The theatre has two experienced technicians on hand to help present performances and conferences.
The building includes a lesser hall and a meeting room, used for exhibitions, seminars, public meetings, training and functions. For more information and previews of coming shows, visit the Town Hall website.
