Collection: Princess Theatre: Woolloongabba

The Princess Theatre in Woolloongabba, Brisbane, is a significant heritage-listed venue that reflects the city’s evolving entertainment and cultural history. Originally constructed in 1888 as a cinema and theatre, the building served as a popular venue for live performances, film screenings, and community events during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries 1. Over time, it underwent various changes in use, including periods of decline, before being restored and revitalised in the twenty-first century as a contemporary live music and performance space. Today, the Princess Theatre stands as an important example of Brisbane’s historic entertainment architecture, blending its original character with modern cultural use.
