The Bakehouse Studio Theatre was refurbished in time for the opening of The Adelaide Fringe 2009, and we have continued to improve its facilities since then.

A more intimate theatre, it holds 44 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 often hired by young graduates of our foremost professional drama schools and you can expect to see a wide variety of performances that are up close and personal.  It is also particularly suitable for one man shows or stand up comedy.
