Open air films were first shown on the theatre site in December 1912 ,in 1941 the original owner Mr James Stuart commenced construction of the theatre roof and by 1918 the original wooden building had been completed.
In 1930 Mr James as he was known completed an extensive upgrade of his theatre, adding a foyer with a new projection box above, and a Spanish mission facade to the front, at the same time a large stage with dressing rooms and a large supper room and kitchen underneath were added to the rear of the building. The theatre is still in use today thanks to the Friends of James Theatre Inc and Dungog Council who have renovated the building over the years - Notes by William Bynen
