WHY BECOME A MEMBER?
Each year Theatre Royal calls out for lovers of live music, independent cinema and the Arts to get behind Castlemaine’s historical icon and become Loyal Royal members. This annual membership helps TR custodians to ensure they have the necessary support to continue as one of the last remaining single-screen cinemas in the country. It is through the support of the Loyal Royal program that TR can continue to maintain the cinema, projector, sound system and all the necessary bells and whistles that go into creating a space for the Castlemaine community to gather, share stories, experiences and a mutual love for film and live music.
With an increasing number of international artists and renowned local artists coming through the doors, it is imperative that we maintain a high standard, world-class calibre of equipment and staff to ensure that we are every bit as worthy a venue as our fellow establishments in the big smoke. TR is proud to be one of the most visited regional live music venues in the country and we will do all we can to maintain our excellent reputation as a premiere live music venue and independent cinema.
This year Loyal Royals also become automatic members of our ‘Mercoledi Movie Club’ (Italiano for Wenednesday!) with $8 movies every Wednesday for members only and more day time creenings. Along with discounted tickets all year through (including $10 Pennywise Tuesday deals), plus access to behind the scenes news and events, members can know they are directly contributing to preserve one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the Southern Hemisphere.
For the longest continuously operating Theatre (since 1854), there’s a lot required to keep the heritage listed building in good shape.
Theatre Royal has a special place in the heart of many Castlemainians, not only as one of the first Australian "picture palaces" to screen silent movies in 1919 and the “talkies” that followed, but also as the beating heart of the vibrant, artistic community, often the place for local fundraisers and community gatherings.
