About the Capitol Theatre
The Capitol Theatre Tamworth is a 402 seat purpose built proscenium arch theatre which is located in the newly built Centrepoint Shopping Complex.

The Theatre shares its foyer and bar facilities with Forum6 cinemas.

Theatre and Production Consultant, Richard Stuart was engaged to plan and oversee the fit-out of the theatre. With a hydraulic orchestra pit lift, automated winch flying system and well equipped sound and lighting rigs the Capitol Theatre is a great new performing arts venue.

Peter Ross was appointed by Tamworth Regional Council in January 2009 to run the theatre under the title of Theatre Director.

The Capitol Theatre Tamworth looks forward to becoming a regular stop on the national touring circuit and a well occupied theatre for local and regional events and productions.

 

Capitol Theatre Tamworth is a proud initiative of Tamworth Regional Council.

 

History
 

Tamworth has a long and rich history when it comes to the performing arts. With drama, choral and musical societies, the regional conservatorium of music, brass and pipe bands, a clarinet choir, several dance groups & schools and of course the deep veins of country music, Tamworth is has a vibrant cultural community.

 

The theatre takes its name from the previous Capitol Theatre, which stood almost in the same position and was demolished in 1984. Its façade fronted Brisbane Street in the same position of the Centrepoint car park.
