Mousetrap Theatre has a new stage in the heart of Redcliffe, taking up residence at the Sutton Centre beside Bee Gees Way as the community troupe returns to a purpose-built venue after years without a permanent home.
A Community Stage Re-made
The company’s first production at the new site is the Italian comedy Mirandolina. The season begins on Friday, 24 October 2025, and runs through Sunday, 2 November 2025, at Mousetrap Theatre Co., Sutton Centre, 157 Sutton Street, Redcliffe.
Future shows flagged by the company and local outlets include 80s Icons – Superstars and Soundtracks from 14 November 2025, a family pantomime Robinson Crusoe – Pirates and the Caribbean Queen in January 2026, and Inspector Drake and The Perfekt Crime in February 2026.
City of Moreton Bay renovated the former council office into a flexible theatre space, adding a new roof, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, extra toilets with a shower, and improved disability access.
Back In The CBD
The new venue sits on Sutton Street in the Redcliffe CBD, steps from cafés and restaurants and just behind Bee Gees Way, positioning the theatre to attract passing foot traffic as well as regular patrons. Council representatives and local coverage highlight the central location as a practical boost for audiences looking to pair dinner with a show.
Seating has been designed on movable tiers so the auditorium can be configured to suit different productions, and a second space is available when the main stage is tied up with large sets. Council material and local reports describe the project as a way to secure a lasting home for a group that has served Redcliffe for more than 70 years.
What’s On And How To Attend
Mirandolina is scheduled across two weekends, including matinees, with listings also carried by independent theatre guides. Booking pages and event listings note that Row A is at floor level, with other rows on raised tiers; some seats may be held to support patrons with mobility needs via phone booking.
Council and local media confirm the Sutton Centre as the new home, with the company signalling more programming following the fit-out.
Voices From The Move
Local reporting attributes the project’s progress to ongoing support from City of Moreton Bay and sustained volunteer effort from members. Council leaders say the relocation supports arts and community participation.
Mousetrap Theatre’s leaders call the new stage, lighting, sound, storage, and side-stage areas essential to grow performances and membership after years in temporary venues.
