Company information
For more than 60 years, the Old Mill Theatre has been entertaining people in the City of South Perth and many more from further afield. Situated in a prime location on Mends Street, matched with a wide selection of innovative, fun and classic shows, the theatre delivers a complete night out, thanks to a wide choice of nearby cafes and restaurants ideal for a pre-show meal. The theatre itself also has a wonderful bar facility.
The Old Mill Theatre is fortunate to be operating out of one of the most
historic buildings in South Perth. It was opened in 1899 as a
Mechanics' Institute Hall. The South Perth Council purchased the
building in 1913 and renamed it the Mends Street Hall. The council still
owns the building and supports our use of it.
The building
first became a home of theatre in 1948, when the South Perth Dramatic
Society moved in. The name Old Mill Theatre was first used in 1958 and
the company was incorporated in 1959. In 2009, the theatre celebrated
its 60th anniversary.
A number of significant changes to the
building have occurred over the past few years, with major extensions
completed in 2002. An understage tunnel, which links two backstage
dressing rooms and enables easier access from one side of the stage to
the other, was completed in 2008. Bathroom facilities have also been
installed backstage as part of this project, which was wholly
self-funded.
The Old Mill Theatre is fortunate to have strong
support from the City of South Perth council. The city
undertook major renovations to the exterior of the building in 2008 and
the theatre is looking better now than ever before. In 2013, the stage has been completely re-built.

We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!
