Description

‘To the future, or to the past, to a time when thought is free, a time when truth exists’. It is Kansas at the turn of the millennium, and Dorothy recognises she is witnessing the end of freedom as she knows it. In search of her liberation, she embarks down the Yellow-Brick Road on a magical journey of terror and love.

Along the way, she meets a party of wacky characters, all with their own motives for accompanying her on her journey. Their destination? Oz and the Emerald City. To meet Oz, the unlikely band of heroes must conquer the Wicked Witch, but in doing so they discover the dark secrets of the Emerald City.

A non-profit theatre for the local community

The Byron Theatre is part of the Byron Community Centre's not-for-profit social enterprise model. As a social enterprise, tickets to events in our theatre are worth a lot more than their dollar value. This means that funds raised from ticket sales will go towards a good cause and are used to provide services, programs and events that benefit our local community here in Byron Bay. Every time you see an event in our theatre you’re helping us run vibrant and inclusive social and cultural programs for our local community.

A cosy courtyard bar hidden away in the centre of Byron Bay

Situated in our garden courtyard, the Theatre Bar welcomes our patrons to mingle, meet friends and get together before shows and during intermissions. The bar offers light snacks, as well as a great assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Plan to drop by a little earlier and enjoy a drink and a chat. Patrons are welcome to take their drinks into the theatre. The theatre and bar generally opens one hour before every performance.
