Theatre-On-Havens is located in the former structure of the port at Cape Dawes in the Bay of Walsh. Here in 1829 it was built the first pier, which was named "Pier Pitman." One and a half centuries later, in 1979, the Sydney Theatre Company to look for a room. That's when Elizabeth Butcher, operated by the National Institute of Dramatic Art, discovered derelict shipyard in the bay Walsh and offered to restore them and make the seat of the Company. Her proposal was supported by the government.

When the appointed project architect Vivian Fraser in 1984 has started to work, the main question was on what the end of the pier is a building of the theater. Government architects conducted a special study, offered to build it in the part of the pier, which goes out on the road. However, Fraser insisted that, for aesthetic reasons, theater building must be placed on the projecting end of the pier into the sea. Her arguments were supported, and the artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company later said it this way: "I liked the idea that every time you come here to see the play, you seem to go on a journey."

Today the theater-on-Quay consists of two halls on 544 seats. Along the 200-meter wooden deck leading from the street to the theater, we settled posters Sydney Theatre Company, which tell the story of his visitors. Huge windows overlook the theater of the famous Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour water. On the east and west terraces of local restaurants offer views of the Sydney's Luna Park and the skyline of residential area North Shore.
