Why it's worth checking out
The Canberra Theatre Centre sits at Civic Square on London Circuit, in the heart of the capital. A major performing-arts venue, it's a cultural cornerstone of Canberra — hosting a diverse program of theatre, music, comedy, dance, musicals and other live performances across its stages, in a central, convenient location.
The appeal is that combination of a varied, quality program and a great central setting: from drama and dance to live music, comedy, musicals and family shows, there's a rich and ever-changing line-up to enjoy, all in the heart of Civic with the city's dining close by. It's the premier hub for the performing arts in Canberra, drawing audiences from across the region.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly valued by its audiences. The program, show times, ticketing and any events vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up and booking directly before you go — particularly for a specific show or a popular performance — while looking forward to a night of live entertainment at the Canberra Theatre Centre.
