About Union Theatre
Welcome to the Union Theatre, located at 761 Swanston Street in Parkville, Australia. This institution is not just an establishment or point of interest, but a vibrant cultural hub known as the Arts and Cultural Building. Situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people, this building promotes connectedness through arts, culture, and music.
The Arts and Cultural Building is a result of collaboration between students and staff. Over 20,000 individuals contributed their ideas, views, and expertise towards its planning and realization. Today, this inclusive and welcoming space offers something for everyone, from performances and exhibitions to study spaces and landscaped balconies.
Within the Arts and Cultural Building, you will find the Union Theatre, a state-of-the-art 398-seat proscenium arch theatre. This theatre is equipped with an orchestra pit, automated flying system, and industry-standard audio and lighting production capacity. It is suitable for a wide range of professional theatre presentations, concerts, and events.
Additionally, the Guild Theatre is a 102-seat 'black box' theatre, offering a flexible performance space with retractable seating. It also features industry-standard audio and lighting systems, making it suitable for various theatre productions, workshops, and events.
Students interested in theatre on campus will find an array of facilities at their disposal. These include two fully equipped rehearsal spaces, a theatre workshop for stage and prop production and development, multiple dressing rooms, and a theatre bar and box office operating during show times.
For those who wish to get involved in theatre, UMSU's Union House Theatre is the place to be. They offer information about upcoming events and opportunities for students to participate.
UMSU's George Paton Gallery, located within the Arts and Cultural Building, is a contemporary art gallery that encourages experimental and collaborative approaches to contemporary art. Students from all disciplines are invited to take part in the gallery's annual program of exhibitions and events.
The UMSU Arts Lab is another space within the building where students can get creative. Equipped with long tables, easels, and a wide range of art supplies, this warm and inviting space is perfect for escaping the hustle of university life. The Arts Lab also hosts immersive workshops run by various artists and makers.
Accessibility and inclusivity were key considerations in the design of the Arts and Cultural Building. It is on track to receive a 6-Star Green Star building accreditation, showcasing its commitment to sustainability in all aspects of university life.
When it comes to dining options, the Arts and Cultural Building has you covered. ST.ALi, a renowned Melbourne-based coffee roaster, offers ethically and sustainably sourced coffee along with delicious food options. Gong cha, a popular bubble tea brand with over 1500 stores worldwide, serves freshly prepared bubble tea.

Reviews of Union Theatre
"Great small-to-mid-sized theatre with generous stage, comfortable seating on an inclined floor that ensure good viewing for all but remains easily navigable for those with a degree of ambulant difficulty. Particularly good acoustic treatment too."
"Marked improvement on old Union Theatre. Good facility and acoustics."
"A bit small, but intimate, and relatively accessible. No food inside, but that may have just been that performance."
"The new union house theatre in the arts precinct building is great. It is very modern and stylish, and has really great facilities including a awesome green room and toilets. A huge level above the old union house theatre. Must visit!"
"This is very important Theatre, as its University of Melbourne s theatre, Of course they have more theatres, but this place is dedicated for performance and arts, Facility is great, you have - Bathrooms below level - Cafes below level, depend on week day - Travelling, I would suggest its your choice Trams, cars or trains.walking - Car parking slots are available on street around, be wise to have enough time for walking and finding a parking spot. - Pay parking precincts are available as well Take the opportunity to drop off your crew, family and audience members in the theatre parking inside the campus. Just a reminder, if its on weekend, make sure to check cafes availability, otherwise you have a long walk to shops in your event intervals."
