Schonell Theatre

The Schonell Cinema & Theatre has ceased weekly film sessions as of Monday 5 June 2017 and is now exclusively available for private hire.

Arthouse, foreign language, Australian films and independent releases are screened from Thursdays through to Mondays (closed public holidays).

In 2018 the University of Queensland announced a development plan that does not include the theatre causing widespread concern amongst the student body, alumni and the local community.

A petition was launched by then UQ Union Vice President Nicholas Comino seeking to "save the Schonell" from the university's plans.

As part of its $300 million renovation project, the university intended to demolish the UQ Union building that includes the Schonell Theatre.
