Hamilton's iconic Founders Theatre was designed by eminent local firm White, De Lisle and Jenkins and the building officially opened on 4 March 1961. Significant improvement projects include the Restaurant Showtime! Dressing room and loading dock extensions in 2000 and the Foyer entrance atrium in 2001.
