Initially opened as a theatre on 11th April 1814, it is the only surviving Georgian theatre building in Angus. On the 1st October 1819 it re-opened as the Theatre Royal, at which time it was owned by Mr James Anderson and managed by Mr Corbet Ryder. The Theatre suffered changing fortunes and the last performance was probably in 1837. The interior is described in 1819 as having box panels, classical figures, wreaths and festoons. The ceiling was painted blue with a large star in the centre supported by 4 cupids. Part of the 22-40 (Even Nos) Bridge Street B Group.
