Our community theatrical not-for-profit organisation has been performing at the Sandgate Town Hall since 1958, at that time starting with a donation of £5,5s from the local Rotary group under the name ‘The Sandgate Little Theatre Group’.
Currently operating under the name of Sandgate Theatre Inc., our group voluntarily and usually produces and performs three major productions a year, as well as some one act plays. Our plays range from hilarious comedies to serious dramas. We are also expanding our offering to talent shows and workshops.
Our next event is in August – Sandgate’s Got Talent
September – Australian premier of Lady Macbeth Uncut
November/December – ‘Happiness’ by David Williamson (auditions September 14th)

We will be performing in 2025 at the beautiful Sandgate Town Hall.

We are always looking for new people to get involved. This includes actors, directors, stage managers, lighting, sound, set design/construction, costumes, make-up, publicity and more (is there more? 😁). For most of these roles, you don’t have to have prior experience as enthusiasm is mostly what’s needed. Directors need some experience of directing. If you’ve got a play you’d like to put on, get in touch. If you’d like to give directing a try, you can start with a one act play. We usually do these once a year, so keep your eye out for notices.
We also need people to work backstage, handle administration, make costumes and props, design posters and newsletters, and work Front of House (selling drinks, tickets at the door, etc).
Photographers, singers, bookkeepers, make-up artists, carpenters, computer wizards and people who can play musical instruments are all useful in community theatre. Whatever you can do, or want to try, there’s space for you in community theatre.
