Resources	Article: Jean Wyldbore, Castelmaine's Unique Theatre Royal, Kino Cinema Quarterly, 26, December 1988, 9-11 Ross Thorne, Theatre Royal Castlemaine, Companion To Theatre In Australia, 1995, 583 Theatre opened c.1852. Front portion rebuilt as hotel 1856. Destroyed by fire and immediately rebuilt 1857. Gutted by fire and rebuilt as two-level theatre in 1887 Remodelled as cinema in 1930s. For more than 130 years there has almost continuously been a place of entertainment on the site of the Theatre Royal in the old gold town of Castlemaine. The first building was made of timber and canvas, but some fragments of masonry walls of the 1857 and 1887 rebuildings remain in the present theatre. A photograph of the interior after the 1887 rebuilding shows a deep horseshoe balcony with a Regency-style deep proscenium, in which there are traditional stage doors and small boxes above. This interior disappeared when the theatre was redecorated in Art Deco style inside and outside in the 1930s. It is used for cinema, live theatre and disco.
