We've been to the 1812 Theatre a few times in recent years, and it's always good. An old fashioned theatre with old time seats like they had in cinemas many years ago... lots of nostalgia and charm. But we go for the very good performances (and the sherries before, and party pies and supper after).

Went to see ‘Art’ last night and loved it! The actors were marvelous and the exploration of their character’s friendships was insightful. The intimate atmosphere at this theatre, the glass of champagne at the end of the show and the opportunity to chat to the actors, is always appreciated. …

Can't say much about the production as I was working FOH but I do know it was a full house and is getting great reviews. Have been to other productions and they are always first class. As good or better than anything the city theatres offer. And more reasonably priced.

Old work charm with a modern welcome. Holds six production per year. You're are welcome prior to the show with a welcome drink and at the end of the show they cordially provide you with a light supper. Tonight show " You Silly Old Moo" was silly but very funny.

Intimate theatre with limited seating so it's wise to book for the performances. It has been staging productions since 1945 and won many awards in the process. The reception area incorporates a bar offering a variety of alcoholic and other drinks.

A really good local community theatre. Seats about 250-300 snd the interior is well decorated in deep glowing blue with very comfortable well raked seating. Saw The MouseTrap here and it was a very decent local theatre group production.

Great place to see a play, professionally presented. Nice range of afternoon tea provided during intermission, also free drink before the show, although some munchies would be welcoming to help with subduing the alcohol provided.

  • Yabbie

Loved this theatre. We watch The Woman in Black and it was fantastic in fact the acting the set and even the costumes were better than some professional plays we have been to. Well done. Thanks for a lovely evening.

  • Andrew Godde

Very good small theatre. Lovely atmosphere, and the bar prices were reasonable as well for drinks. Will go again, actively watching for plays that they may host. Good restaurants nearby for dinner and a show night.

  • Jean Pettitt-Brown

I have enjoyed many plays at the 1812 in both the smaller Bakery and main theatres. I am sure to see local friends there. I recommend pre booking as it is very popular. The varied plays are on for about one month.

  • Ben Harnwell

Great theatre space and community are really nice. With a visit for the theatre and shows. Licensed so you can enjoy a drink before the show. Nearby restaurants are worth a visit or a cheeky ice cream post show.

  • Mike Jenkins

1812 is a great theatre company with talented directors and players, and very welcoming members. Always refreshments before and after the show and a friendly group of people. One of the best in Melbourne.
