The Chapel Theatre Glen Innes
THe The Chapel Theatre in Glen Innes on the Northern Tablelands of NSW is fully owned by the Glen Innes Arts Council. Run entirely by volunteers, the Chapel Theatre has been used as a model for true community-based cinemas and theatres across Australia. Originally built as a Methodist church in 1885, it was purchased in 1983 and converted to a theatre by the Glen Innes Arts Council Inc. which was formed in 1944 and is the oldest continuing Arts Council in Australia and will be celebrating our 70th anniversary in 2014.
Upgraded in February 2011 with a new, state-of-the-art, 3D Digital Cinema system, The Chapel Theatre is the first cinema in NSW (outside Sydney and Canberra) with Dolby 7.1 Sound! The Chapel Theatre is a vibrant regional performing arts venue not only screening films most weekends it is also used extensively for local theatre productions, concerts and touring professional groups. It has a capacity of 155 with comfortably padded raked seating, high quality surround sound and excellent acoustics.
Our website contains a rich offering of information including an archive project, films screened past and present and a listing of events at our theatre. www.gleninnesartscouncil.com We also have two Facebook pages one for theatre events and productions Glen Innes Arts Council and one for film listings Glen Innes Chapel Theatre.
