Norman McVickers formed St. Peters Community Players in 1947, with performances first in May Street, St. Peters, then later in Terry Street, Sydenham.

Pocket Playhouse was officially opened in 1957 by the then Premier of New South Wales, the Hon. J. J. Cahill, and the St. Peters Community Players adopted the new name.
