Little Theatre

University of Adelaide

The University of Adelaide (UofA) was a public research university based in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it was the third-oldest university in Australia. Its main campus in the Adelaide city centre included many sandstone buildings of historical and architectural significance, such as Bonython Hall. Its royal charter awarded by Queen Victoria in 1881 allowed it to become the second university in the English-speaking world to confer degrees to women. On 5 January 2026, it merged with the neighbouring University of South Australia to form Adelaide University. The antecedent institutions were formally disestablished after 31 March 2026, when both the University of Adelaide Act 1971 and University of South Australia Act 1990 were repealed.

Little Theatre Movement

As the new medium of cinema was beginning to replace theater as a source of large-scale spectacle, the Little Theatre Movement developed in the United States around 1912. The Little Theatre Movement served to provide experimental centers for the dramatic arts, free from the standard production mechanisms used in prominent commercial theaters. In several large cities, beginning with Chicago, Boston, Seattle, and Detroit, companies formed to produce more intimate, non-commercial, non-profit-centered, and reform-minded entertainments.
