ABOUT OUR JUNIOR PROGRAM: 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.

“JUST TO GET YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS!”⭐️ Preparations are underway for what is shaping up to be a BUSY few days of auditions. The production team have been working tirelessly behind the scenes, making sure that their vision for the production of The Boy From Oz is clear, concise, innovative and spectacular, however true to the original and already remarkable concept. “Performing in a space such as the Centenary Theatre has it’s limitations, but only if you work against them. Embracing the small and intimate nature of the theatre has been the driving inspiration behind the basic concept of this production - a raw and emotionally charged nostalgic journey in to the life of Peter Allen, where the audience feel like they’re being taken on a very personal and intimate ride.” As spots are filling very quickly for auditions, make sure to book yours today so you don’t miss out! We are looking for a very diverse cast of all ages, genders, sexual orientations and identities, size, disability and cultural backgrounds. For all audition information, click the following link and make sure to call 1300 881 545 to secure your audition time TODAY. Limited spots available. https://wmtc.org.au/boy-from-oz-auditions-2022/ Director/ Choreographer - Ashley Tynan Choreographer - Tailem Tynan Assistant Director - Rosa McCarty Musical Director - Eric von Ahlefeldt #auditions #theatre #theatreauditions #boyfromoz #peterallen #bookyourauditionnow #audition #performingarts #wmtc

THE BARBER SHOP HAS CLOSED FOR BUSINESS 🥧💈🔪 What an absolute treat it was to bring audiences our production of SWEENEY TODD and even though our season was sadly cut short, we are just brimming with pride from positive reviews and feedback we received on the production. WMTC would thank each and every person who attended a performance, we are truly, truly, humbled. Throughout the season we shared a number of photos from our spectacular production, but must also acknowledge the team that don’t appear in these photos, our 'killer' orchestra and our many company volunteers that create our costumes, build and dress our sets, invent props (if only you knew what those pies and blood were made of), move our sets around the stage, shine lights, and especially keep a rowdy cast in order. WE THANK YOU! As a final farewell to SWEENEY TODD we present our group shots for you to enjoy, the cast, cast & production team, our orchestra and costume team! WMTC’s SWEENEY TODD played for 6 performances November 2022 @ Williamstown’s Centenary Theatre #wmtc
