Welcome to The Cummins Theatre

A 'Heritage Listed' Theatre in Merredin, Western Australia

Cummins Theatre was originally part of the Tivoli Theatre which was erected in Coolgardie in 1897. The Theatre was dismantled and railed to Merredin where it was re-built by James Cummins in 1928. Since its construction, the theatre has become highly valued by the community as a long-standing venue for live entertainment. In 1982, in recognition of its cultural heritage significance, the place was classified by the National Trust of Australia (WA) and Cummins Theatre was permanently entered on the State Register of Heritage Places in 1996. Cummins Theatre is now the oldest natural fibre roped wooden fly tower theatre in the state.
