25.01.2022 We hope youve been enjoying #bundyburp. Weve been thrilled with the response - both in the theatre and online - and are looking forward to the next two Fridays.

24.01.2022 As you are all aware, we are facing unprecedented times with the impact of COVID-19. We hope that all your family and friends are safe, and keeping in positive spirits. The Playhouse Theatre 2020 programme will be affected in many ways, the one with greatest impact to you, is the scheduled Youth Theatre performances in the June/July school holidays. We regrettably are forced to CANCEL the Youth Theatre performance, Hands of Time. This decision is not an easy one, as we mak...e this with very mixed emotions. A great deal of work has been implemented to ensure the celebration of 50 years was one that was unique and something, wed all remember. The Committee has also made the hard decision to completely cancel any Youth Theatre activities for 2020. We understand how frustrating that this news will be, but we must take the health and safety of everyone into consideration. We have also decided to transfer over any 2020 Youth Theatre memberships into 2021. If you wish to continue into 2021, you are automatically into the performance cast, regardless of age. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to perform in a show. If you have any questions, concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact: Kyle Schneider (Current Youth Theatre Director) 0481464765 or [email protected] Rebecca Hutchins (Artistic Director) 0428510616 or [email protected] Or [email protected] Please keep an eye on our website for any theatre updates or activities occurring in and around our theatre. -Kyle Schneider 2020 Youth Theatre Director
