State Theatre Centre of Western Australia

Located on the corner of Roe and William Streets in Northbridge and due to open on January 27, 2011, the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia will feature the 575 seat Heath Ledger Theatre and the 234 seat flexible Studio Underground. Also included in the Centre is The Courtyard, a multi-purpose outdoor events space, two rehearsal rooms and two flexible-use private suites.

Designed by award-winning Kerry Hill Architects, the design will deliver a building which will not only provide a functional and inspiring venue for performers and their audiences, but will also be a defining architectural landmark for Perth.

The Centre will present contemporary performing arts, such as theatre and dance, in diverse ways with a focus on distinctive professional and contemporary work produced locally, nationally and internationally.
