Canberra poised for three music halls amid venue limits
A Canberra review notes current concert halls strain local audiences and facilities. It argues for a dedicated theatre, improved stage and foyer, and a smaller Playhouse for intimate recitals. The piece highlights Steinway pianos in all venues and envisions Canberra becoming a major multi hall music center.

Ensemble Theatre and the rise of Sydney stage drama in 1957
In 1957 the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust opened Newtown Theatre with Judith Anderson in Medea, while two years earlier the Old Theatre and the Ne theatre model emerged. Hayes Gordon led The Ensemble, a small company in Miller Street North Sydney, rebuilding a derelict warehouse into a working theatre. The ensemble produced The Man, attracting a loyal audience, and planned tours and expansions despite funding hurdles, with a permanent company of about 14 and a student body of 7 to 15. The creator’s aim was to train Australians in Method acting and stagecraft, paving the way for future productions like Baby Wants a Kiss.
