| Overview
Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc is a
non-profit incorporated association, which has the support
and endorsement of the Hobsons Bay Council
and is administered by a volunteer committee of
management.
Formerly known as Williamstown Light Opera Company, we have
staged numerous productions for both theatre-lovers and
the Hobsons Bay community for fifty years at our theatre,
The Williamstown Mechanics Institute on the corner of
Melbourne Road and Electra Street.

|
Williamstown Light Opera Company was first formed in 1954
and our first production was “The Pirates of Penzance”
in 1956. Since then we have staged three show per year
until 2002 when our theatre underwent renovations to
improve our facilities.
|
Re-Launched in 2005 under our new name, Williamstown
Musical Theatre Company Inc we aim to establish and
develop, nurture and encourage the performing arts and
musical theatre within the City of Hobsons Bay and the
broader community.
Our
company membership is comprised of people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds with a common
interest in vocal music and theatre.
The productions and events that we have and intend
to produce are of a diverse nature, and are being
conducted and planned as part of the overall strategy.
Productions include:
·
Two major theatrical productions per annum
·
One Variety Concert / Cabaret Festival or Pantomime per annum
We
believe our 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, we 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. We welcome anyone who can help out in any way from volunteers
to sponsorship.
