BYO Dinner Theatre

ETC shows feature cabaret-style seating with tables for up to 8 people, allowing you to bring & enjoy your own drinks & snacks at our performances.
Doors open from 7pm so you have plenty of time to arrive, find your table & set up your cheese platter or whatever it is you want to bring. Just remember to bring some disposable cups & plates if you need them.
We do not sell any food or drink on site, so make sure you plan ahead! Or stop off at the shops on Buckley St before the show.
Some of the options there include:
Boundy’s SUPA IGA Buckley Street - supermarket for premade snacks, drinks, sandwiches, cheese, crackers & more to pack for the theatre.
Indian Tukka On Buckley - Indian takeaway classics you can pick up and bring along.
Thai Herbs Restaurant - Thai food (good for pickup if you want something substantial before the show).
Little Thai Kitchen - Another Thai option with lighter dishes you could grab to go.

Getting here

Train + Walk/Bus: Take a train on the Craigieburn line to Essendon Station, then it’s a short local bus or rideshare/walk ride to the theatre.
Bus: Local buses run through Essendon and can drop you within a short walk of Bradshaw Street (check PTV for exact routes).
Car: Limited on-site parking plus some street parking is available - but it fills up quickly on event nights, so plan ahead or consider public transport.
