Perth Theatre is a Victorian playhouse situated at 185 High Street, Perth, Scotland. It was opened in 1901 and extended in 1991.[1]
A memorial foundation stone was laid on 6 October 1889 by George Alexander, actor and manager of the St James's Theatre, London.[2] The building is category B listed by Historic Scotland.[2]
On 4 January 2014 the theatre closed to undergo renovations and expansions. Among the plans for the theatre are new seats, another smaller theatre, and a new entrance. The original auditorium will also be restored to its original condition. The theatre is expected to open again in 2018.
In March 2016, Lu Kemp was appointed Artistic Director.[3]
