The Canberra Theatre Centre is the heart of the city's performing arts scene, hosting everything from Broadway musicals and ballet to stand-up comedy and contemporary dance. Its main theatre, the Canberra Theatre, seats over 1,200, while the smaller Playhouse offers a more intimate setting. Visitors can enjoy pre-show drinks at the bar or explore the nearby Civic Square. With a packed calendar of local and touring productions, it's the go-to spot for a night out in the capital.
