Regal Theatre

What Regal Theatre does

Regal Theatre is a heritage-listed performing arts venue located at 474 Hay Street, Subiaco, Perth, Western Australia. Originally opened as a cinema on 23 April 1938, the Art Deco building was converted to a performing arts venue in 1976 and is now one of Western Australia's most significant examples of art deco architecture. The venue holds 1,048 patrons across stalls (693) and lounge (355) seating, with a 13m × 7m proscenium, a 53-line counterweight fly system, removable orchestra pit, and comprehensive professional lighting and sound infrastructure that supports touring productions and local performances.

The theatre is held in perpetual trust for the people of Western Australia under the Regal Theatre Foundation (formerly the Baker Theatre Trust), following the 1986 bequest of owner Paddy Baker, and is currently managed by Kim Knight. Revenue is generated primarily through ticketed live performances (comedy, concerts, dance, musicals, and theatrical productions), with secondary streams from corporate function hire at the Attic Bar, on-site food and beverage operations, and a partnership program with approximately 9 local Subiaco restaurants and accommodation providers offering ticket-holder discounts. Ticketing is handled exclusively through Ticketek across online, phone, and WA retail outlet channels.

The venue's primary customers are general audiences attending live entertainment, supplemented by corporate clients seeking premium function spaces and touring show producers requiring professional theatre infrastructure. Marketing is conducted via the venue website, Facebook, and email newsletter, with Ticketek serving as the primary bottom-of-funnel conversion channel. The venue operates with 11-50 employees, including Manager Kim Knight and a small technical team led by Technical Manager Raph Whittingham. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or expansion plans are disclosed.
