Emerald Hill Theatre

Boneymau: more accurate number


The '''Emerald Hill Theatre''' was a theatre company and venue in Melbourne, Australia, which operated from 1962 to 1966. The 140-seat Emerald Hill Theatre was at 250 Dorcas St, South Melbourne, in a former church converted by architect [[Robin Boyd (architect)|Robin Boyd]].<ref></ref>

It was established by [[Wal Cherry]] and [[George Whaley (actor)|George Whaley]]. Cherry described it being inspired by three characteristics appearing in Australian arts at the time: "dissatisfaction with the pose of the Artist as Garret Dweller, impractical and effete; a desire to break through the elite circle which surrounds the arts into a more popular culture; [and] a definite need to bring the arts closer together in order to put pressure on the community".<ref>
