The Canberra Theatre Centre is the Australian Capital Territory's principle performing arts venue and Australia's first performing arts centre. The Centre was the first government initiated performing arts centre to be completed in Australia and opened in 1965. Canberra Theatre Centre includes the 1,244-seat Canberra Theatre, the 622-seat Playhouse and The Courtyard Studio - an intimate rehearsal and performance space that seats up to 90 patrons. The Link connects the Canberra Theatre and The Playhouse and includes exhibition and function areas.
Annually, the Canberra Theatre Centre presents a Subscription Season featuring performing arts from Australia and overseas.

As well as providing venue hire services, Canberra Theatre Centre provides the city with the finest performing arts and the most diverse selection of entertainment from around the country including theatre, drama, dance, cabaret, circus, comedy, all genres of music, musicals, puppetry and physical theatre.
