In 1923 on land given to its first inaugural body, the theatre began its public life as a tin shed, and The Soldiers Memorial Institute which housed a library and meeting hall for returned soldiers from the first world war, was built.
In 1928 a more permanent stone and brick building replaced the tin shed and formed the foundation of what still stands as part of the main theatre.
During the early thirties functions like ballroom dancing and roller skating filled the hall, however roller skating eventually had to be banned because of the damage to the floor.
In 1936 it became the home of a new fad ‘electric light cricket'.
As suburban film theatres became popular, in 1937 an entrance foyer, ladies retiring room and a projection room was added to show movies and the building became known as ‘The Lyric Theatre' and then ‘The Windsor ' when it was bought by the Windsor chain.
In 1956 and addition was made to the rear of the theatre to house a more modern larger screen however as movies were only shown on Saturday, the lease required the hall to be available to locals at all other times. During this time the hall became known as ‘Star Theatres' for a short period.
Films were popular but when drive in movie theatres became established and television began in 1959 audiences dropped and finally the Windsor chain relinquished its lease in 1961.
In 1962 John Edmund and Donald Grey took the lease and turned the main hall into a ‘performance in the round' theatre, which became the home of Adelaide live performances in the 60's…hence the name change to Theatre 62.
While the library remained part of the theatre it was finally moved in 1970, when local council took over the management of the building as The Soldiers Memorial Institute was disbanded.
In 1981 the defunct Baptist church adjacent to the theatre was purchased by the council and joined via a foyer to the main Theatre. The complex became known as ‘Theatre 62 and The Chapel' and was used as a youth centre by ‘Carclew'
In 1985 the West Torrens Council refurbished the venue and leased to theatre to managers Barbara Messenger and Rob George, who continued the programming and promotion of ‘Local' theatre.
Mighty Good Entertainment bought into the partnership in 1992 and eventually Malcolm Harslett became sole director in 1999.
As part of an extensive up grade of facilities by Mighty Good Productions, it was noted that the name ‘Theatre 62' came from the year 1962 and had no relationship to either the address of the building or to the smaller venue, (known as ‘the Chapel') so it was decided to return to the name of ‘Star theatres' for the complex, with the main theatre being called Theatre 1 and the refurbished chapel, Theatre 2.
In 2015 after several years of uncertainty the West Torrens Council voted to retain the theatre and continued the lease agreement with Mighty Good Productions for a further 10 years +, later agreeing to budget upgrading the building for the future and to keep the venue which boasts an average audience of 80,000 patrons each year
In 2023 Mighty Good Productions has held the lease for 30 years, the longest time of any theatre managers and has produced 75 original productions since 1992. The theatres have also hosted hundreds of different clients from major Musical companies, comedians, plays and other theatre productions for the varied community groups in West Torrens and beyond. The theatre also hosts many annual performances for Primary and Secondary schools, Dance, Drama and singing schools each year.
We are also home to the Mighty Good Talent School which in 2025 celebrates its 48th year of teaching 36,000+ South Australians the performing arts of acting singing and dancing. It is also the birthplace of the very successful ‘Men who Dance’ show.

A Punk Opera
A PUNK OPERA is a new take in the expected Nuworks style on Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. Set in the 1970s, it references the government of Margaret Thatcher and the advent of the punk rock era, defined by a rejection of core British values: minor strikes, race riots, football hooligans and garbage strikes. All to a soundtrack reminiscent of The Kinks in particular.

PANACHE
Adelaide French Theatre
Florian Zeller’s comedy, La Vérité, involves four characters who are involved in either cheating on their partners, deceiving their partners or playing mind games with them.
Zeller’s dialogue engages the audience who never know which of the characters is being truthful. Michel, we know, is a businessman who is having an affair with Alice, a doctor, but we also know that he is an habitual liar.
As the play progresses, we find out more about each of the characters and each audience member will leave the performance with what they believe to be the truth of the scenes they have witnessed.
La Vérité is a side-splittingly funny play that explores human relationships, their weaknesses, their strengths and how difficult it is to be entirely honest with a partner.
A guaranteed good night out.

Oily Rag Theatre
The South Australian premiere of William Goldman's stage adaptation of his own screenplay based on Stephen King's iconic psychological horror thriller. Jaded author Paul Sheldon is looking forward to being finally rid of the long-running series of historical romances that earned him fame and fortune, when a car accident in a snowstorm leaves him helpless in the middle of nowhere.
He regains consciousness to find himself terribly injured and in the home of Annie Wilkes, a stranger who came upon the accident scene and is thrilled to be the saviour of the author of her favourite book series. It doesn't take long for Paul to realise that Annie is more than just excitable and eccentric, and that he could be in very real danger isolated and alone, with his life in the hands of his "number one fan". By arrangement with Music Theatre International Australasia Pty Ltd, on behalf of Dramatists Play Services Inc.

Panache - BOUM
Charles Trenet is remembered as a towering figure in the history of French song. He was in some ways a link between the old music hall traditions exemplified by artists like Chevalier, Mistinguett, Claudette Colbert, and the golden age of French song, post World War II, where Edith Piaf, Boris Vian, Jacques Brel and countless others, reigned supreme. The post-war generation all looked up to Trenet, who was one of the most popular singers in the years just before the war. He had prepared the way for the success of the new wave and continued to work beside them and to encourage them. Trenet’s songs (he wrote over 900!) are light, jazzy, whimsical, melodic, entertaining, gently sentimental. Internationally, his best known song is La Mer – in France he is known for countless others, ‘Ya d’la joie!, Douce France, the song which gives our show its name, Boum!, and many more. Don’t miss out on an evening of fun and delight, as Panache’s talented singers and musicians bring to life, once again, the artistry and genius of this “fou chantant” |

First DateWhen blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In a delightful and unexpected twist, Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?

AMADEUSIn Vienna, in 1823, the dying 73-year-old former court-composer, Antonio Salieri, is babbling that he was responsible for the murder of his arch-rival, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri’s fevered memories transport the audience back to the glittering court and musical worlds of Vienna, as Salieri battles with God over His choice of “an obscene child” to be the beneficiary of musical genius.
Starring Paul Scofield and Simon Callow, Peter Shaffer’s modern classic took the world by storm in 1979. Milos Forman’s spectacular 1986 film starred F Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce. Together again, after their triumph in Old, Wicked Songs, Ben Francis and David Roach play Mozart and Salieri. presented by arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical acting as agents for Samuel French Ltd |

Under the Paris SkyA glittering evening ‘Under the Paris Sky’ is filled with French language songs, from Piaf to the contemporary works of Zaz, interwoven with hilarious fun. You’ll be swept away by the beauty of the music and die laughing at the comical characters ... and you don't even need to speak French!
Georgia Darcy has been described by various reviewers as a “joy to watch, mesmerising” a “Powerhouse” and “Glittering”. Specialist French-content reviewer, Matilda Marseillaise says: "Georgia is ethereal in 'Under the Paris Sky'. You cannot ignore her stage presence. Our eyes were fixed on her throughout the show. We could have listened to her for hours…. Her voice is hypnotizing, the show resplendent… she sings Piaf in such a way that we could think we were listening to Piaf herself." Georgia’s love of the French language is obvious as she shares it with guests, taking us on a poetic journey through the story and metaphor of the songs before singing in French, thus we can follow whilst enjoying the beauty of the “language of love” sung with passion and eloquence. There is plenty of comedy as Cecile (played by Georgia’s wife, Louise Lawson) returns to create mischief and mayhem as Georgia’s French maid (who does no cleaning). Maestro Simon Walters has flown over from Melbourne to accompany Georgia for this Cabaret Fringe 2022 – his playing is breathtaking. “A truly wonderful show” – come with us to Paris for a night to remember. |

IKK SUPNE DA SYAASI QATALUsually it is the teachers and the professors who educate the uneducated but what happens when an uneducated man gives a lesson in history to a University professor?
Crafted by the ace Punjabi playwright, Dr. Pali Bhupinder Singh, Ikk Supne Da Syasi Qatal is a conversation piece between Karmoo, a rickshaw puller and a professor. Visibly angry yet very diplomatic, Karmoo takes the audience down the historic lane and narrates Indian history from a common man's viewpoint. Directed by director Gurvinder Singh, this play is a satire on Indian politics and does not have a single dull moment. It’s witty yet thought provoking and makes one rethink about Indian politics and its effects on a common man's life. |

Right By Your SideDid you know that the Eurythmics started out in Wagga Wagga, or that both Annie & Jim moved to London from Scotland to try and get their first big break?
This unique and interactive show will take you on an anecdotal & musical journey to salute the Eurythmics, but done of course in the highly entertaining performance style of The BordererS. An uplifting story that parallels the lives and musical careers of both duos (only a decade apart) from their similar upbringings in the UK, to becoming romantically involved, forming a band together and then travelling and performing all around the world. The aim of this show is to remind you of how good the Eurythmics were, and to encourage you to sing along to all your favourite classics such as ’Sweet Dreams’, ‘Right By Your Side’ and ‘Who’s That Girl’. You’re gonna love the high energy, the stories, and be totally enthralled by this nostalgic musical odyssey which includes The BordererS full band, plus a special appearance by the Rough Diamonds Choir (formed just for the occasion). |

But things changed! Featuring Alison’s trademark warmth, wit and love of a good tune, 60 Sassy and Celebrating! is an engaging mix of music, laughter and thought-provoking revelations. |

The Eye of WilkinsHe was one of the greatest Polar explorers. He was also a world-class photographer. For the first time, the photos and films of South Australian, Sir George Hubert Wilkins are being brought together in this new documentary by Peter Maddern. From under the North Pole ice and deep among the front lines of the Western Front in the Great War, from sailing high above the earth in the Graf Zeppelin to riding the roiling seas on Shackleton's Quest, Wilkins kept his cameras going. His photographic record of the 30 years from 1910 to the Second World War is like no other.
If you haven't heard of this great man, this is a time to sit back and be amazed at what he achieved, at what he witnessed and at how he isn't better known in his home town. Part of the 'Bringing Wilkins Home' initiative. |

Set in The Underworld, follow a brave, little grim reaper embarking on a heart-warming quest to discover the meaning of Death. Dead-set on bringing death to life with music, humour, a side-serve of accidental philosophy; The Death Show will have you laughing like The Joker, crying like Moaning Myrtle, and plummet you into an up-side-down world you won’t be expecting. ★★★★1/2 "witty and thought-provoking..."

The Man Who Wrote ShakespeareHow did the man who wrote under the name Shakespeare manage to not only survive two years in the Tower of London, but also write Hamlet in the shadow of the executioner’s axe? Why did he allow Shakespeare to take all the credit? This trauma caused a radical shift in his writing to what might well be his last play.
To respect the Bard’s wish, please promise not to tell who really wrote Shakespeare. With Russell Starke, Emily Jo Davidson and Charles Herkes. |
