The Moncrieff Entertainment Centre is named after ‘Our Glad’ Gladys Moncrieff, the world-famous musical star who was born in Bundaberg. Originally the Olympia Airdome, an open-air theatre built in 1920, it was enclosed as the Olympia Theatre in 1955; refurbished as the Crest Theatre in 1973, and reconstructed as the Moncrieff Theatre during 1985 to 1987.
With the update of the venue’s facade in October 2011, it seemed the perfect opportunity to undertake a name change. Moncrieff Entertainment Centre better describes the venue, as all forms of entertainment, including cinema, live theatre, concerts and conferencing are held there.
