	Brian and Marjorie Johnstone were not content with just operating their gallery. They truly wanted to establish a unique suburban artistic precinct in Brisbane. With this in mind they planned as early as 1966 to form a committee to establish a theatre on part of the ground the gallery occupied. This would later become the place for the building of the current [[Twelfth Night Theatre]]. Prior to the commencement of the building of the theatre, a production of ''[[Under Milk Wood]]'' by [[Dylan Thomas]] was staged in a tent on the site of the future theatre. Building work began in 1969. The theatre opened in February 1971 at the Bowen Hills site under the direction of [[Joan Whalley]] with two productions, ''[[A Flea In Her Ear]]'' by [[Georges Feydeau]] and ''[[The Rose and ~~The~~ Ring]]'' by [[William Makepeace Thackeray]]. The Johnstones were delighted, as Brian wrote to [[Sidney Nolan]]:		Brian and Marjorie Johnstone were not content with just operating their gallery.
