Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc

Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc is a non-profit incorporated association and is administered by a volunteer committee of management. Formerly known as Williamstown Light Opera Company, they have staged numerous productions for both theatre-lovers and the Hobsons Bay community for over fifty years at the Williamstown Mechanics Institute on the corner of Melbourne Road and Electra Street. Williamstown Light Opera Company was first formed in 1954 and their first production was “The Pirates of Penzance” in 1956. Since then they have staged three shows per year until 2002 when the theatre underwent renovations to improve its facilities. Re-launched in 2005 under their new name, Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc, they aim to establish and develop, nurture and encourage the performing arts and musical theatre within the City of Hobsons Bay and the broader community. The company membership is comprised of people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds with a common interest in vocal music and theatre. They believe their company is an ideal opportunity for local community involvement, at any level, with musical theatre. A theatre company isn’t all about acting, dancing and singing, they offer the opportunity for all aspects of the community to get involved, from performers, musicians to set builders, scenic artists, lighting designers, production team personnel, local businesses, and promoters – even people who can sew – to get together and support the local community whilst putting on a great show. A successful theatre company is the sum of all its parts; it cannot work without a supportive network. They welcome anyone who can help out in any way from volunteers to sponsorship.
