The Princess Theatre reigns as Queensland's oldest standing theatre. The heritage-listed building, which opened in 1888, has over the years housed a picture theatre, a rag merchant, a secondhand dealer, a paper wholesaler, an engineering firm, and most recently, a church.
Built 135 years ago as a local gathering place for the working class residents of Woolloongabba and South Brisbane, it is now roaring back to life as Brisbane’s newest home for live music and performing arts attracting audiences from around the country and acts from around the world.
