Hello! Welcome to Rachel and Areti’s wiki. We have chosen to study the history and architecture of Melbourne’s theatres. These theatres include The Melbourne Athenaeum, Princess Theatre, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Forum Theatre, Regent Theatre and the Arts Centre.

In olden day Melbourne, the institution of the theatre was not as well looked upon as it is today. For example, one Melbourne Police Magistrate threatened to have performers and audience brought before him and charged as ‘rogues and vagabonds’ if there were any more performances. However, today actors are not as downgraded and theatres are more appreciated as we intend to convey to you through our wiki.

We will take you on an inspirational journey through time where you will discover the wonderful world of the theatre industry.
