Port Theatre 220 Bay Street, Port Melbourne, VIC
Located in the west inner city Melbourne district of Port Melbourne, at the corner of Bay Street and Liardet Street. The Port Melbourne Theatre was opened in 1913. It was built by Mr. Alexander Rogers with a 1,000-seat capacity, on the site of the Fire Brigade Hotel, once the site of the Foundry Hotel. The site was purchased for £5.00. Alex Rogers was a high achiever and a prominent citizen of Sandridge. Sandridge was the name of the locality at the head of Hobsons Bay where Colonial passengers disembarked to journey across the sandy land between there and the Yarra River, Melbourne. It is now known as Port Melbourne.
