Just like any organisation, MTC is a collection of people with a common interest. In our case that interest is theatre and every aspect of theatrical production. This encompasses a huge variety of activities and calls for a dedicated commitment by members. We have been fortunate that we have always had people prepared to make such a commitment, and as a result our company has operated continuously
and successfully for over 80 years. We undertake to present quality theatre and encourage interest in all aspects of theatre, and we undertake these challenges with a professional attitude. However, we have also taken time out to enjoy fellowship and friendship, to socialise and even share an ale or two together. We enjoy a great camaraderie. To date, over 500 productions have been staged. We stage five plays each year and each production now runs for 10 performances. The Box Office is the only source of income. The support of our VIPs, Very Important Patrons, is vital to our continuance. This group makes for over 80 per cent of our audience. The Production Advisory Committee endeavours to offer a varied, interesting and satisfying season each year attempting to appeal to all tastes to ensure our patrons keep coming back. Our reputation is one of a community theatre company of a high standard. This reputation has been achieved only by the dedicated and devoted efforts of the hundreds of men and women volunteers who have passed through our ranks since 1945. We are grateful for the foundations they established and upon which we continue to build. Many changes have taken place in our company since it was founded in 1945, and no doubt there will be further changes as we continue to grow and develop. Chookas to those who will continue the tradition. Why not get involved? Mordialloc Theatre Company is always on the lookout for active members. There is certainly more to belonging to a theatre company than appearing on stage. Everyone has a skill to offer from basic carpentry to operating the lights and sound. These are valuable contributions to producing a show. Set building for each production takes place on the two weekends prior to opening and help is always very welcome. Just ring 0411 645 003 beforehand to check on what time to turn up and we will find a job for you. You don’t need to be carpentarily gifted to participate. Membership is FREE!
