The Bowery Theatre, located within St Albans Community Centre, is a hub for creative arts and cultural events.
The Bowery Theatre is named after the late artist, Leigh Bowery who grew up near the Theatre. Leigh Bowery was one of the most influential international arts figures of the 80s and 90s. A celebrated fixture of the fashion, nightlife and avant-garde scenes in London and New York, he was known for his flamboyant get-ups, larger than life personality and bold performance art. As a creative space the Bowery theatre is inspired by his legacy.
The Bowery presents a diverse bi-annual season of theatre, music, dance and children's programming, including work curated from Australia's finest performing artists/arts companies, self-produced work that is reflective of the local community, and performance work made by local artists.

Umm just wow! Visited this wonderful creative space for the first time to watch opening night of BoilOvers Bouy!
And every step I took in the place blew me away!
The quality Of the build, the level of understanding and thought that clearly went into the design and construction of this theatre is evident.
It was comfortable as an audience member and the space felt accessible yet professional.
A solid community space, an excellent performance venue and an ideal home for theatre!
