Exuding timeless charm in the heart of Kyabram’s CBD, this beautifully preserved theatre stands as a cherished landmark, enchanting the streetscape with its enduring elegance.
Serving as a cinema, theatre, playhouse, and dance palais, this versatile venue comfortably seats 430 patrons, each enjoying an excellent view of the screen.
In 1928, the Kyabram Free Press announced that Mr Lewis. H. Day would be building the theatre, and billing it the “Showplace of the Valley”.
The theatre had its official opening in 1929, and for nearly four decades, showcased a diverse range of films, from classic Hollywood to local productions.

The theatre would find troubles and it ceased showings and closed in 1968, before a group of passionate film fanatics lobbied together and formed a theatre committee.
The committee’s successful campaign persuaded the shire to purchase the building, ensuring this historic gem remains a treasured community asset for generations to come.
These passionate volunteers meticulously maintain the theatre, guaranteeing every visitor an authentic journey through time as they enter through the grand tri-double door entrance.
The passionate volunteers continually strive to restore the theatre to its former glory.
Thanks to generous support from the Community Bank Kyabram & District, the theatre’s exterior has undergone exciting upgrades.
These include a modern light box showcasing current and upcoming films, and stylish roof trim lighting that now elegantly illuminates Allan St.
The Plaza Theatre offers convenient weekly screenings every Tuesday and Saturday night at 7.30pm, carefully curating a diverse range of films to cater to all tastes and preferences.
