Stagedoor Dinner Theatre

StageDoor Dinner Theatre was officially opened on July 17, 2002 by Judy Cornwall (Daisy from "Keeping Up Appearances"). StageDoor Dinner Theatre is Brisbane's first permanent dinner theatre, with more than 54 productions to date.

The dinner theatre is located in the lower level of the Twelfth Night Theatre complex in Bowen Hills, Brisbane. This is the permanent home to Starbuck Productions, a Queensland based production company. Starbuck was established in early 1990s and has produced live entertainment in venues such as the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, The Suncorp Piazza, Seagulls International Showroom, the Twelfth Night Theatre and in regional touring venues throughout south east Queensland.

Productions have included Hollywood Legend Mickey Rooney, Rhonda Burchmore, The Australian Tom Jones Spectacular and "Little Shop of Horrors".

The company is owned and run by radio and television producer and performer Damien Lee and dance school proprietor Doreen Thomas. Now at the StageDoor Dinner Theatre they have produced the classic Neil Simon comedy "The Odd Couple", Dan Goggin's "Nunsense", the award winning rock musical "Return To The Forbidden Planet", the family Christmas Pantomime "SC Superstar", the New Year's cabaret "Rock Down The Clock", the heartwarming British drama "Beautiful Thing", and the Southern Hemisphere Premiere of "Gilligan's Island: The Musical".
