Located in the North Kenwood/Oakland district. The Shakespeare Theatre was built in 1914 for the Alfred Hamburger circuit. By 1941 it was operated by the H. Schoenstadt & Sons circuit.
The Shakespeare Theatre was closed in 1961 and became a church. It has since been demolished and housing built on the site.
