It appears that the majority of Community Theatre productions start at 8.00pm, whereas professional and pro/am (eg Les Mis) productions and others such as WAAPA start at 7.30pm. I was just curious as to why this might be the case. For myself, I prefer the earlier start, it means I am on my way home or to a party after the show at a more reasonable hour. More time in the bar after the show also if that's your thing. I am new to Perth and would be interested in comments from others on this. Cheers!

Old Mill used to start at 7.30 , but now we are 8 pm, except for long shows , ie most musicals etc.

We changed partly in response to the actors for reasons already given above, but also in response to our Audience feedback!!
