Overview

Address: 

 

A local syndicate soon found the cash to put up a $7,500 playhouse on Wellington Street near O'Connor Street, calling it Her Majesty's and opening it to the public on 4 October 1856. Under this Metropolitan Dramatic Association classics such as Richelieu were presented there as well as amateur productions such as To Prescott and Back for Five Shillings. (pp. 242)
