  • Theatre

The Playhouse is one of the theatres at the Arts Centre Melbourne complex. Designed specifically for drama, the Playhouse features productions by the Melbourne Theatre Company.

With 884 seats, the auditorium is split into two tiers, with raked stalls and a balcony. Though particularly suited to large scale dramatic works, the Playhouse also hosts musical theatre, comedy, chamber opera, and contemporary dance performances.

Patrons can also browse the foyer's collection of Aboriginal artwork.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
