The first production was presented in March 1936 in the Empire Chambers, cnr Creek and Wharf Streets, Brisbane. Performances were given at the Princess Theatre, All Saint's Hall, Albert Hall and often at the Gowrie Hall. New premises were designed by the architect Vitaly Gzell, also the Twelfth Night President, located at 4 Cintra Road, Bowen Hills. This new theatre was opened in 1971 with the production "A Flea in Her Ear". In 1976 the company sold the building in Bowen Hills and continued to perform at the venue, but to avoid confusion, the company changed its name to TN! Theatre Company.

  • AU NLA 36037764
  • Corporate body
  • 1990-1996

The Women's Health Centre, Brisbane, ran for approximately four years in Highgate Hill, Brisbane, in the early 1990s, in service of women who wanted to be treated by other women for health matters. During this time they received funding for the Women's Health Development Programme from the Commonwealth Department of Community Services and Health. They wished to make information known to women about many aspects of their own health and treatment options, monitor the development of policies and programmes affecting the health of women, and provide a place where women could be treated by health professionals of their own gender. They closed in 1994, due to lack of funding.
