25.01.2022 The reviews keep pouring in! Thanks to Jessica Leese for her kind words, and thanks to everybody who has come along to see SEASON’S GREETINGS, but our work isn’t near done just yet closing weekend is almost upon us. Have YOU booked your tickets yet? Get on it before you miss out!

23.01.2022 As the clock strikes eight, the closing night performance of BLOODY MURDER has kicked off! Hundreds of satisfied sleuths have come through our doors and laughed until their sides split, and we would like to thank and share our love with each and every one of you. See you all next time, and, hopefully, in less bloody circumstances...

21.01.2022 We take our final trip to Lady Somerset's estate tonight at 8pm, but fear not, for we'll be putting our nose straight back to the grindstone and opening our next production on Friday, July 30! What will it be? You'll just have to watch this space...

20.01.2022 We would really love it if you could come and support some of our dear friends over at Newcastle Theatre Company! And, just for fun, what's your favourite Noël Coward play?

20.01.2022 Tonight’s the night - we’re opening our production of SEASON’S GREETINGS! You can still book for this evening’s performance to enjoy a lovely meal before an even lovelier show - doors open at 6:30 for dinner before an 8pm performance! You can book at 0403 705 680, or drop us a message here on the page. $45 for dinner and a show; $25 for just a show!

19.01.2022 Ken Longworth from The Newcastle Herald dropped by over our opening weekend and had a laugh-raising time, it seems! We have FOUR more performances left of BLOODY MURDER, playing Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm. Our run must close Saturday, May 1st, but fear not, our next production will be opening on Friday, July 30, so SAVE THE DATE!

17.01.2022 Bloody hell, haven't you gotten your bloody tickets to our upcoming production of Bloody Murder? "Why, there... there's nothing nefarious she could have found out about me. I'm just a regular sort of fellow. What could there be?" What could Major Quimby (Geoff McLauchlan) be hiding? Does Miss Emma Reece (Abigail Woods) have a skeleton or two in her closet herself?... You'll have to book your tickets, which are selling fast, to find out. We open Friday, and you can still grab tickets by calling 0432 886 149, or else by messaging this page!

14.01.2022 The reviews are in, glowing brilliantly, and here's the word from local critic extraordinaire Ken Longworth for The Newcastle Herald! Don't forget that our run resumes this weekend, with performances tonight, tomorrow night, and Sunday afternoon at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in the sleepy hamlet of Georgetown. Tickets are $45 for dinner and a show, or $25 for just a show, and you can book by contacting us at 0403 705 680 or else by messaging the page....

14.01.2022 Throwback to Ken Longworth's teaser of our latest production in The Newcastle Herald's edition on March 5th! It's not long now until opening night of Bloody Murder, where secrets and blood will be spilled, shots will be fired, and many an alcoholic beverage will be drank... both onstage and off. ... If you haven't got your tickets yet, message us through this page, or drop us a line at 0432 886 149. Keep your eyes peeled, too, for the upcoming release of our dinner menu for the production, and don't forget to enter our double-pass giveaway as well!

13.01.2022 Out with SEASON'S GREETINGS, in with our next show, coming May next year, so keep your eyes peeled for our big announcement! Here are some photos from our 2017 production of Neil Simon's RUMOURS.

11.01.2022 Closing weekend is upon us with two shows to go, and it will be hard to say goodbye to SEASON'S GREETINGS especially with reviews like this! Inquire about fitting you in by dropping us a line at 0403 705 680.

10.01.2022 Our closing performance of SEASON’S GREETINGS is already underway, but our invitation to the Bunker household doesn’t have to end here. Take a virtual tour of our set with this immersive panorama!

10.01.2022 Newcastle Dinner Theatre presents Ed Sala's Bloody Murder! The usual British whodunit types gather at Lady Somerset's sumptuous country estate: the major who served in India; the inebriated, fading actor; the innocent ingénue; the exotic lady in red; the mysterious Chinese visitor; the rich dowager aunt, and her faithful maid and worthless nephew. Suddenly, one dies of poison! However, Her Ladyship refuses to summon the police! She says she won't go through all this... again.... All what, again? Is this another formulaic mystery? Or is it something diabolically... different? When characters rebel against their author, it's bloody murder! Fridays and Saturdays: $45 - 6:30pm for a 7pm dinner Sunday matinée: $25 - 2pm, March 29 Bookings can be made by contacting 0432 886 149.

09.01.2022 Catch the scoop on our production opening this weekend, courtesy of our very own cast member Jack Madden!

08.01.2022 It's not at all long now until our production of Ed Sala's hilarious comedy-mystery Bloody Murder! "I uh... just 'appened to be in the neighbourhood, and I thought I'd sorta drop in and see that everythin's all right with you 'ere." What has Chief Inspector Phelps (Suellen Hall) discovered in the home of Lady Somerset (Amanda Rietdijk)? A clue, perhaps?... You'll have to book your tickets, which are selling fast, to find out. We open Friday, and you can still grab tickets by calling 0432 886 149, or else by messaging this page!

08.01.2022 We'd like to extend our congratulations to RILEY MCLEAN. You have won a double pass to our matinée on Sunday, Sep. 22, so drop us a line to claim your prize, Riley! As for the rest of you, remember that we open THIS WEEKEND and run until Saturday, Sep. 28, so be sure to book your tickets at 0403 705 680.... SEASON'S GREETINGS St. Matthew's Anglican Church Hall, Georgetown $45 for dinner and a show, $25 for show only Sep 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28 @ 7pm Sep 22 @ 2pm

07.01.2022 As we close our production of Ed Sala's BLOODY MURDER, which has been over a whole year in the making (thanks, COVID!), we'd like to deliver a big kiss from our very own Madam Woo (Suellen Hall) to everybody who came along and supported our season! Special thanks to our director Sandra; our cast Geoff, Steve, Abigail, Jack, Jen, Ann-Maree, Suellen & Natalie; our crew Kim, Barb, Marg, David & Beth; and our pre-show entertainment John Franks; and anybody else who helped this show come to life. See you all on Friday, July 30 for our next opening night. What will the play be, you ask? Well, that's just another mystery...

04.01.2022 What's to come next for NDT? Only time will tell.

04.01.2022 Grab the latest Newcastle Weekly and you'll find our ad on page 39, which must mean it's not long until Bloody Murder now, innit? Our first Saturday show has already sold out, so you best drop us a line and book your tickets before it's too late!

01.01.2022 Unfortunately, the show shall not go on... well, for now! We're very disappointed that Bloody Murder will not, at present, be opening this coming weekend. We are endeavouring to get this production up and running at some later point in the year, but, for now, we advise all our patrons to wash their hands and stay safe.
