Theatre patrons were excited when Nambour’s new modern Vogue Theatre opened on Wednesday February 15, 1958. Its spaciousness, the comfortable seating, carpets, snack bar and a soundproof viewing room for mothers with their crying babies were all welcome innovations. Fast forward to today and The Presynct, a licenced entertainment venue, is preparing to bring life again to the old Vogue 63 years after its first grand opening in the old Vogue building.
