Empire Theatre

 

HASSELL was commissioned by the Toowoomba City Council to refurbish this old cinema as a 1573 seat regional performing arts theatre, adding new side foyers, offices and function spaces to the front of the building and a new fly tower, rehearsal studio, dressing rooms and plant and equipment rooms to the rear. The project has proved to be an outstanding cultural and financial success and is testament to the vision of the people of Toowoomba who fought hard for its reincarnation.
