The Forum’s (previously the State theatre) closed as cinemas when the building was sold to Revival Centres Australia from 26th September 1986 and for the next nine years the building operated as a church.
Staged Developments bought the theatre in 1995 and it is now part of the Marriner Theatres group.
It now hosts concerts and functions downstairs with a capacity of 1,500, with most of the seating removed and 800 in a more intimate setting when comedy shows are booked.
Occasional movies (sometimes a venue for the Melbourne Film Festival) and special events take place in the former balcony upstairs (previously the Rapallo) which now has a seating capacity of 540.
