New Theatre Review

The staff was really friendly and the show was amazingly surprising!! Highly recommend to check it out!

Great theatre for live plays. Plays are well curated and enjoyable

Great old style theatre, very cosy and uncomplicated. Very dedicated and passionate actors.

Wonderful plays, comfortable chairs, friendly people

Small community theatre that presents thought provoking productions of a consistently high quality

Small, intimate, casual theater with a spirited heart

Brilliant little theatre just south of the heart of hipster Newtown.

Nice, intimate theatre size. Easy to park. Good atmosphere.

Intimate theatre with excellent leg room and comfortable seats. Performance of Nell Gwynn an exceptional performance by the 16 cast members.

I have been here for 2 plays and really enjoyed both of them. The ambience is very nice

A small and cosy theatre! Fits around 200+ people
I enjoyed being there.

cute theatre. Nice productions. Great effort with the shows presented as part of Sydney Fringe.

A terrific little theatre with an excellent production quality for the numerous shows I have seen here. The intimate and cosy atmosphere just adds to the ambience and really connects you with the performers/actors. We just saw Animal Farm, the large ensemble produced an entertaining production. One of the great thing being situated in Newtown is the number of places to go pre or post theatre for a drink or a meal.

Easy thea ut re to sit and view show. Found my seat a tad uncomfortable

Well set up, easy seating an good views of the stage area. Good vibes.

Cute theatre showcasing amateur, yet profound plays. Go see something!

Not the most well appointed theatre, but a great supply of shows flow through here.

Intamate, but thats just what you want in a theatre.

Great venue showing excellent live theatre with first class actors.

Lovely local theatre in Newtown. Watched a fantastic performance of Animal Farm this weekend.
It's a great theatre space and definitely worth a visit. Social distancing all handled very well too. Drinks are available on site, which you can also take into the theatre. I'll be booking in to see the next show very soon!

Interesting theatre performances, great places to eat around here too!

Finally made it to the New Theatre, small and intimate. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for shows here in the future.

Great, intimate theatre where you can see the actors' face close up. They always have quality productions with good casts and crews.

This is a great little theatre. Productions are variable but often very well staged. Occasionally achieves excellence beyond the limitations of funding. Very good value ticket prices.

Small, cosy theatre with friendly staff.Thoroughly enjoyed the shows I've seen here.

Really like this venue as a local indi performance space. Good access including stair lift and the staff are doing very will with covid requirements. If the budget is tight choose thier thrifty Thursdays ticket options. Heaps of good food close and parking is manageable as long as you don't mind a walk plenty of buses and station close by.

Small informal theatre that puts on some great plays. Small bar with limited variety of drinks that are a tad expensive but are the going price for the area. Not much available to eat from the bar but the theatre is in the heart of Newtown so plenty of restaurants and bars to visit before or after the play.

Saw Collaborators and was very impressed. Lovely community atmosphere. Only the very basics at the bar so would recommend getting a drink elsewhere beforehand.

A great small theatre in Newtown. I have seen quite a few shows here, and the one thing to remember is that if you are expecting a Broadway style budget you are at the wrong theatre.

The shows normally have only a few people and minimal sets but the effort and enthusiasm is 100%.

The bar is open before the show and you can take your drinks into the show. If you have a drink pre-show expect to be warm as the aircon never works in the lobby.

FANTASTIC!!!
Preview of "Pygmalion" was brilliant...
An outstanding production in an absolutely cracking small theatre with a long, proud history

Great theatre. Unpretentious and staff are really friendly. Love the intimate venue, watched little miss sunshine and it was great night. Performers were fantastic. You get $20 tickets on Thursday so even better :)

Really nice community theatre. Very reasonable pricing and choice of shows are excellent. Only downside , the theatre itself has very poor air conditioning ( just a couple of wall air conditioners that you would normally see in a home lounge room) and gets pretty hot in there when full. Seats 148.

Fantastic performance. Brilliant venue. Spend a night here, you know you want to

Really nice intimate space, I went there for an audit with Larry moss. Good space for a small theatre production. The pics here are a good representation of the space

Great intimate theatre in the heart of Newtown. Great seating options

A great theatre with an amazing selection of shows.

Sometimes they have good shows. You should keep an eye on their show list.

A nice, clean and cozy theater with great acoustics. A large stage and ample seating.

very likable independent theatre
has to be appreciated for the commitment to the independent and local productions
setting is intimate and cosy, but the seats and legroom are ample
acoustics good

nice friendly place. good food outlets around theatre. friendly staff. enjoyable shows

The shows get better and better! Little Miss Sunshine was terrific!

Overall it's ok. The front area is always packed as they have hardly any seating room, just some tall tables and bar stools around the place for people who get there early before a show (fair enough I suppose). The performances are hit and miss although for the most part are engaging and the sound/acoustics are very well done in that space. Overall would recommend checking it out if you're planning to be in Newtown. They're about half way between St Peter's and Newtown station (10-15 minutes from Sydney CBD). Prices are always ok (not dirt cheap, but never uber expensive) - which is nice in that it attracts a very mixed (uni student/professionals) crowd. Prices are around the $30-50 mark. Parking can be difficult - I'd recommend Alice street over the back streets of Iredale Street etc. Dress is casual to formal casual. Staff are very lovely.

The thing with a theatre is that it's not the actual theatre that is good/bad, it's the performers. Unfortunately the night I went, the performers were not so good, but 5 stars to the theatre anyway, we need to support the arts.

Ambitious independent theatre in Sydney's Inner West reimagining a diverse selection of plays. Intimate atmosphere. Accessible.

Great place to see non-commercial plays with great non amdram actors.

Very cute little theatre with really great shows. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the theatre is located near a lot of good bars, cafes and restaurants. Keep an eye out for shows being played there.

A great script Well delivered by great actors
A highly recommended play
An extremely enjoyable experience

The Collaborators was a great show, and the atmosphere of the theatre worked well for it.
