About Us

 

The Rondo Theatre is a not-for profit community theatre situated in the centre of Cairns Cultural Precinct on Greenslopes Street Cairns. Each year the theatre produces a season of four or five major productions as well as a number of smaller productions. Supported and run entirely by volunteers, the Rondo Theatre boasts 70+ years of success in bringing high quality theatre to Cairns audiences.

The Rondo Theatre is managed by a committee of volunteers. Each year the committee is elected by the current members at the AGM in December.
