074/365 Plaza Theatre

074/365 Plaza Theatre
Laurieton, NSW, Australia

The Plaza Theatre at Laurieton was built in 1959, before this date films were exhibited across the road in the School of Arts hall.

The theatre was operated by George Hastorius and Bruce Longsworth. In the early 70's Bruce Longsworth bought the other partner out. After Bruce's death in 1972 the theatre was leased out to a variety of people.

Baz Luhrmann's father was the projectionist in the early 70's, and this is the point in Baz's life where he was bitten by the motion picture industry bug. Of course the rest is history.

It was interesting about Baz Luhrman's family living in the Newton Creek area, near Laurieton, hadn't realised the theatrical connection before..
