Empire Theatres Pty Ltd has produced 22 productions since its reopening in 1997. At Empire Theatres it is our aim for our major production to provide entertainment and opportunities for local actors, singers, musicians and dancers to work with a professional production team and extend their performance experience in the arts.
With an emphasis on staging challenging and high quality productions, the Empire Theatres team of experienced and creative staff along with the talented team of volunteers who make up both cast and behind the scenes personnel are committed to bringing a professional performance to a local audience.
