Built in 1928, the Butter Factory Theatre, Wodonga – formerly an operating dairy – transformed into the performance home of HotHouse Theatre in 1997.

HotHouse Theatre is a regional creative powerhouse and first class incubator of new Australian theatre. Nestled on Gateway Island, its central location attracts artists, audiences and communities from Albury Wodonga and surrounding regions.

The home of professional theatre on the border for 25 years, HotHouse presents annual subscription seasons of high quality professional and independent theatre. It’s also a critical training and development ground for regional artists and technicians.

When not in use for the subscription season and associated activities, the Butter Factory Theatre venue is available to hire for a wide variety of events.

The auditorium features a raked seating bank accommodating 162 patrons.

The less formal studio space is also available for hire and uses range from rehearsals, meetings, tailored private functions, and launches. The theatre’s foyer is a pre-show and event hub with its unique charm, relaxed atmosphere and a bar that boasts a fine selection of local premium wines, beers and beverages. A range of professional catering options are available upon request.

A warm and intimate performance space, popular with performers and audiences alike.
Full details and technical specifications for the venues are available from the website.

Managed by HotHouse Theatre on behalf of City of Wodonga.
