23.01.2022 I don't have to explain to ELT family - some of the most special theatre moments happen backstage with the cast. Our cast members over the past few years have been a pretty special bunch. Here's just a few random backstage photos I came across from the past 2-3 years of some of our fantastic cast. Speaking of ELT family - there's quite a few cast members in these photos who are 2nd generation cast members and/or have family members currently on committee or the production team! Post below with a if you were in ELT in your younger days and now have kids involved! We'd love to hear from you #septemberrememberelt #eltlightbulbmoments #eltmildura

02.01.2022 Today we learnt more about the light bulb and the beginnings of ELT, thanks to Madison Hellwege, a former ELT cast member (along with her sister Kaitlyn). Madison's Dad Michael was the very first Stage Manager for ELT! Here's what he told her about the beginning of ELT: "ELT was born when Sunraysia Gang Show Producer Mike Saunders and members of the Production Team wanted to offer the Gang Show experience to non-Scouting youth of the district. Following a meeting it was dec...ided to create a new show to offer the chance for the youth of the community to learn and display their talents and to provide some activities over the Christmas School holiday period. The format was put together with a very small budget and basic scenery and costumes borrowed from other Productions like Gang Show, Mildura Little Theatre etc. Mike Saunders wanted to brighten up the basic scenery by adding lots of lighting effects with lots and lots of light globes being installed to enhance the visual appearance on stage. All the Light Globes being used was the inspiration for the Light Globe Logo and the name Electric light Theatre and so the Show was born and has provided a wonderful experience for hundreds of local youth and adults for many years." Thanks so much for sharing Madison and Michael, it's fantastic to hear about the roots of ELT!! Love to know if you have more stories about the photos we're sharing today from those very early years - and also the 'not so early' years! Please share to our page #septemberrememberelt #eltlightbulbmoments #eltmildura

02.01.2022 We really appreciate the support of Ali Cupper MP and Cr Helen Healy in lobbying for a clear roadmap for the creative arts sector in regional areas as we move towards COVID-normal. Whilst this article features ELT and With One Voice Choir, Helen and Ali are advocating on behalf of ALL the theatre companies, dance studios, singing classes/choirs in our region - performing arts are important to sooo many of us in Sunraysia!! Thanks Ali and Helen!
