HISTORY

THE BEGINNING

Thebarton Theatre was officially opened on Monday 11 June 1928 by Mayor HS Hatwell Esq and was considered the premier venue for concerts, films and theatre performances in South Australia. Known as the Thebarton Town Hall and Municipal Offices, the building was built by the Thebarton Council at a cost of £30,000. The opening was a grand occasion with residents satisfied that this was a truly modern building with modern conveniences. An elaborate and luxurious theatre, Thebarton featured seating for 2,000 people, a large stage, beautiful proscenium arch and indirect lighting. The theatrical lighting installed in the theatre was regarded as an innovation with “all the colours of the rainbow thrown forth through the protruding cone and rosette ceiling.” The hall was fitted with 2,000 lights; with only about 200 visible, the remainder were used for dissolving and dimming effects. As well as the state-of-the-art lighting, there was a full orchestra and a variety of seating arrangements and rooms for use. A large Assembly Room was used for functions and dancing, and the administrative building included offices and the Council Chambers, as well as the Mayor and Mayoress’ rooms. Another room was set aside for the School for Mothers, a precursor to the Mothers and Babies Health Association. The Dress Circle provided spacious seating with the front section boasting luxurious armchairs with room for two people. Ten boxes to the side of the Stalls were also fitted with armchairs to create Balcony seating on each side of the auditorium. Seating in the stalls was also designed for comfort with specially – constructed chairs finished in gold leather.

ARCHITECTS

Kaberry and Chard of Sydney were the great Architects of Thebarton Town Hall, who also succeeded in reproducing a façade for the Council Chambers that matched Colonel William Light’s Theberton House in England. Kaberry and Chard designed over 57 grand theatres across Australia, however only 6 theatres remain, including:

★ Woodville Town Hall, Woodville, SA ★ Enmore Theatre, Sydney, NSW ★ Odeon Theatre, Norwood, SA ★ Anita’s Theatre, Thirroul, NSW ★ Roxy Theatre, Leeton, NSW ★Montreal Community Theatre, Tumut, NSW

Thebarton Theatre, Woodville Town Hall and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney are the only establishments by these historic architects that remain lively music and concert venues, and are integral to the Australian Entertainment Industry. Woodville Town Hall was also leased and operated by Daniel Clifford as a picture theatre from 1927, with a similar capacity and style as Thebarton Theatre. These venues made ‘the West’ a hub of world-class entertainment in South Australia. This continues today with both historical buildings providing a variety of quality live concerts weekly. The Odeon Theatre in Norwood is now home to the Australian Dance Theatre and others are used as community theatres or cinemas. Thirteen of the other buildings by Kaberry and Chard have been demolished, converted to office spaces or have become derelict.

Isn't it nice sometimes to have hot chocolate while facing away from the fire? It already looks a lot like winter where I live.

I just realized since I changed Theo and Trent to Terrence and Tamir their ship names have to be changed

Trody (Trent/Cody) -> Tamdy (Tamir/Cody)

Thebby (Theo/Abby) -> Terbby (Terrence/Abby)

#TBT In 2004 we filmed our first ever DVD at Thebarton Theatre. Thebarton Theatre is one of Adelaide’s most iconic live music venues. I saw my first concert there, Public Enemy supported by Ice T. And since then I’ve been back as a performer and a fan over and over again. But Thebarton Theatre is under threat, it’s one of 600-1000 buildings that the state government is considering demolishing to make way for a new road upgrade. If you’re from South Australia and you love the Thebby, please help to make sure that this iconic South Australian building, and the history and the memories that it contains, are not destroyed. Write to your local member and let them know that if they have any plans to demolish Thebarton theatre then you have plans to be a disruptive constituent. I’ve just seen a change.org petition kicking around as well, I don’t know who’s running it but please sign it, I did. Talk to your friends and family about it. Don’t let this even be taken under consideration. (at Thebarton Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxjgOInwnx/?igshid=xlgyvysbr0o9
