Canberra Theatre Centre is Canberra’s premier performing arts venue, providing world class performing arts and entertainment to the people of Canberra and surrounding regions.

The Canberra Theatre Centre is the Australian Capital Territory’s principle performing arts venue and was the first government initiated performing arts centre to be completed in Australia and opened in 1965.

A new era of performance is on the horizon. The Canberra Lyric Theatre will be a world-class, 2,000-seat venue that completes the Canberra Theatre Centre.

Canberra Theatre Centre is very conscious of its role within the broader community. From actively enticing works to the Centre to enrich the cultural life of the community to dedicated programs aiding access, here is short summary of how the Centre plays its role.

Canberra Theatre Centre is a division of the Cultural Facilities Corporation, an independent corporation of the ACT Government.
