Williamstown Musical Theatre Company (Williamstown)
Williamstown Musical Theatre Company is a not-for-profit incorporated association with its origins as Williamstown Light Opera Company.
We believe our company provides an ideal opportunity for local community involvement, at any level, with musical theatre. A theatre company isn't all about acting, dancing and singing, but offers the opportunity for all sections of the community to get involved, from performers, musicians to set builders, sewers, scenic artists, lighting designers and operators, production team personnel, local businesses, and promoters; allowing all to get together and support the local community whilst putting on a great show.
Williamstown Musical Theatre Company has developed into a family friendly community environment where parents may be on stage alongside their children and various generations of a family could be involved in the many facets of mounting a production. This saw whole families becoming involved, whether onstage or backstage or taking part in running the company by being on the committee of management. Many also took the love of theatre they had developed through their involvement with the company and shaped it into a professional career.
At the heart of the company is still Williamstown Musical Theatre Company's original core objectives:
- Community Involvement - combining the efforts of performers, musicians, set builders, scenic artists, lighting designers, production team personnel and local businesses - and with so, combining efforts from members of the amateur and professional worlds of theatre.
- Family - this may not be as it once was, but everyone involved with Williamstown Musical Theatre Company knows and feels they are part of the Williamstown Musical Theatre Company family - a family whose link is not through blood but a love of musical theatre experience and a strive for excellence
Established in 2011, Williamstown Musical Theatre Company's junior program is open to young performers aged between 8 - 18 years old and aims to provide them with high quality creative learning experiences in the theatre arts. A positive, supportive and fun environment is encouraged to promote and develop self-respect, confidence, awareness, imagination, creativity, determination and social skills in young people. Cast members also develop discipline, memorization techniques, motor skills, coordination, and many other crucial foundation skills through creative dramatics and, in doing so, enhance their self-esteem, grace, and poise, both onstage and off.
Developed with the intention of sharing our passion for musical theatre with children and teens so that they, in turn, can continue this creative tradition as teachers, performers and arts patrons for generations to come, we hope you can encourage all our young performers by your support.
