  • <p>Daytime photograph of complex taken in early 1986, shortly after Christmas ‘85 Grand Opening.  The “Six-Track Dolby” marquee notation for “Out of Africa” was a misnomer (theatre would not have its first 70mm/Six-Track presentation until its summer run of “Aliens” months later).

  • <h1>Had the chance to finally check out one historic building here in Esperance: The Bijou theatre.</h1>
            
              <p>Being a former stage actor myself, I was in awe of how much history this building possessed as well as the fact that this building is the oldest operating theatre in the Southern Hemisphere! Next show coming up is the Magic Carpet Ride show which is looking to be a fun filled event I for one am looking forward to.</p>
            
              <p>If you haven’t checked this building out before, I highly recommend doing so, they have tours available and it allows you to: Discover the public and private areas of the theatre that bring you closer to the world of theatre, and get a unique insight into the history of Australian theatre- An amazing piece of history - Draker</p>
            
              <p>Tour Cost: $5 per person</p>
            
              <p>Tour Times and Tickets are available from:</p>
