Capitol Theatre

This 2,000 seat Capitol Theatre was originally a luxury picture palace and circus, with the seal pit still under the auditorium. The Capitol fell into disrepair, but an extensive renovation restored her to her former glory. The elegant Florentine garden theme features Grecian statues, gold, velvet, and a wonderful starry night ceiling. It hosts a variety of shows, from big musicals through to classic old film screenings.

SBW Stables Theatre

The old SBW Stables Theatre has had a checkered career and nearly closed on several occasions. Originally home of the famous Nimrod Group, and now The Griffin Theatre Company, The Stables presents a range of experimental Australian drama. The tiny triangular acting area, with bench seating, makes for an intimate performance space, not to mention quite a challenge to directors. As well as performances by the resident group, other production companies also use the space.

Sydney Cricket Ground

The Moore Park precinct has been the center of Sydney's sporting activities since the 1800s. Thus Sydney Cricket Ground is home to cricket, Australian Rules Football (AFL) and various concert. Renovated in the 1980s, it seats 46,000 and shares facilities with the Sydney Football Stadium. It is the home ground for The Swans, Sydney's popular AFL team, who play during the winter. It is also the venue for the traditional summer One Day cricket, Test Matches and the Pura Milk Cup.

Enmore Theatre

Located only a stroll from Newtown, the family-run Enmore Theatre was built in 1908. Recently renovated, with a re-designed foyer and first floor bar and cafe, the auditorium offers 1,600 new, comfortable seats in both dress circle and stalls. A melting pot of cultural fare, performances vary from flamenco dancing and foreign spectaculars to cabaret, rock bands and mainstream musicals. They also have special shows for children. Prices vary according to performance.

Old King's School Site

Old King's School Site is a historic landmark that dates back to 1834. From a fruit farm, an Anglican Church to a public boarding school, this place was transformed several times and is one of the heritage properties in this region. Owing to the efforts and endeavors of the locals, the public nature of this site was retained and its privatization was stopped, thereby, making it available for cultural and community events. The future plans include, complete restoration of this site and developing it into a cultural hub. For more updates on Old King's School Site's renovation and event schedule, call ahead.
