Australia once housed the smallest theatre in the world, according to the 2001 Guinness Book of Records, seating just 28 people. They were replaced by the English Theatre of Convenience (see previous Just a Small One) which according to their blog was something they found very amusing. Unfortunately the building shut down in 2009 because it was in such a bad state and wouldn’t reach standards required to continue functioning as a theatre. Then even sadder the Acorn Theatre company, which had been planning to become a touring theatre group, decided to disband earlier this year because of the dwindling of their group due to a lack of venue. It is a sad end to twelve years of being a unique venue and then for the people themselves to have to disband is tragic. However they have kept their blog online which has some great photos and a chronicling of their 12 year run as one of the Worlds Smallest Theatres which you can check out right… here.
