Save Thebarton Theatre From The Bulldozers

The issue

  • The South Road upgrade threatens the destruction of Adelaide's historic prime mid sized venue Thebarton Theatre. This venue is the holy grail of music venues to Adelaide live music lovers. Many live music venues have been demolished over the years and we are saying "Hands Off Thebbie Theatre" . The destruction of this iconic landmark threatens the live music industry in this state.

An upgrade to South Road is necessary, but other options exist which can save this great place. These include a proposed tunnel for South Road which would also save a 100 year old church which is also threatened. 

The question needs to be asked - Steven Marshall Premier where will a band that wants to play to 2000 play now? Not all bands are suited to an outdoor venue. Local bands often support interstate and overseas acts when they tour. Thebarton Theatre also maintains a reasonable admission price for their concerts. 

WE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS SHORT SIGHTED DECISION IN THE SO CALLED NAME OF PROGRESS!
