Parade
College,
Bundoora
Parade College Bundoora has a long and proud history of
engaging students in the performing arts, which led to the
need for a major overhaul of its existing theatre which had
served the College for over 20 years.
After extensive architectural consultation about the
requirements of a modern day theatre, a full renovation and
extension program began. The old theatre was completely
stripped bare and extended out several metres. After a
12 month long building process, the new Rivergum Theatre
was born.
Consisting of a 300 seat auditorium, the theatre boasts
a Strand 300 series lighting console with 60 dimmers,
3 automated lighting bars, a 500 watt Meyer Sound
system with 32 channel mixing desk and two full sized
dressing rooms with bathroom facilities. To the side of the
performance area is a large workshop with 5m roller door
clearance, so that sets can be taken straight off the back of
a truck and assembled with easy access to the stage.
The end result of this collaborative effort has seen Parade’s
theatre usage surge, with many local theatre groups and
primary schools keen to stage their performances at the
new Rivergum Theatre.
The building of the Rivergum Theatre was made possible by
loans from the Catholic Development Fund.
