About

The Paris Theatre was a cinema and theatre located on the corner of Wentworth Avenue and Liverpool Street in Sydney that was a venue for movies, vaudeville, cabaret and plays. The theatre changed names several times, beginning as the Australia Picture Palace (1915-1935), and later the Tatler Theatre (1935-1950), Park Theatre (1952-1954) and Paris Theatre, (1954-1981) before being demolished in 1981.

In May 1978, the theatre hosted a film festival that inspired the first Sydney Gay Mardi Gras. The theatre was also the home of the Sydney-based Paris Theatre Company, a Sydney based theatre company.
