Shedley Theatre

This theatre has served the Northern theatre & performance community for decades. It is most definitely time that it was upgraded. Although well equipped, the changerooms backstage were far too small & there was only one toilet (that I found). It was far too hot & the noise could be heard by the audience. The stage floor could use some work, especially for ballet, as could the audience seating. There was also insufficient signage for the entrance & for many it was difficult to determine where the library ended & the theatre began. There is some work going on, on the building & I am hoping this is a significant upgrade. The area certainly needs it.

Seen my son dance with Avant Ballet for the first time and it was amazing. They also took safety measures due to covid. Very clean and professional

Seats are ancient and extremely uncomfortable to watch performances. Foyer done up, shame stage etc not fixed upu

I saw the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra Christmas Favourites at the Shedley Theatre last night. The performance was fantastic. Acoustics were good and sound system was without fault. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The promenade was good and shows care has been taken to make it accessible to all. The theatre itself is doing OK considering it's age and the popularity of the venue. Dare I say it's the jewel of Elizabeth.

I have seen 3 different shows here. There is a small cafe in the foyer where you can buy drinks, snacks etc. However, they haven't been serving coffee when I have gone to shows but there is also vending machines where you can buy coffee. There are always ushers at the doors to direct you to your seat. It is very easy to see the stage from all the seats as it is a small theatre that only seats around 300 people. There is always plenty of parking across the road at the Elizabeth shopping centre.
