The Bakehouse Theatre is situated at 255 Angas Street, Adelaide (corner of Angas and Cardwell Streets). This is the east end of Angas Street, one block from the popular restaurant strip in Hutt Street, just down the road  from The Seven Stars hotel in Angas Street and a 10 min walk from the East Parklands which are home to  the "Garden of Unearthly Delights"  during the Adelaide Fringe.

 

At the Bakehouse you will find a wide variety of shows running all year round.

 

We have  two theatre spaces - Mainstage and Studio Theatre. 

 

 

A charming, intimate theatre space which seats 87 audience members on raked seating which looks down on the flat floor performance space.  The performance space itself is a "black box" style of stage.  There are no fixed sets, curtains or backdrops of any kind.

The Bakehouse Studio Theatre was opened for The Adelaide Fringe 2009. Since then it has had extensive improvements each year, including reverse-cycle airconditioning, new seating, 3 phase power outlets, and lots more.

 A more intimate theatre, it holds 40 audience members and could be said to be the equivalent of the Fringe all year round.  The Studio Theatre is suitable for plays that require a smaller number of actors, usually with minimal sets.  It is also particularly suitable for one man shows or stand up comedy.

 In 2012 it will become home to an exciting new project called  "Black Box @ The Bakehouse".
