Welcome to The Hartwell Players, Melbourne's oldest community theatre company. The company began in 1938, and is still going strong. Read All About Hartwell to find out more about how it all started. We produce four shows a year: a pantomime or children's show in the January school holidays; a Shakespeare show; a series of one-act plays; and a full length production.
AUDITIONS
Auditions for the 2012 Shakespeare season will be held in January.
See the Macbeth page for full audition details.
THE REAL STORY OF PUSS IN BOOTS
Hartwell's summer show is back! Magic is in the air, as childhood classics Cinderella and Puss In Boots come together live on stage. Rich with colour and music, this vibrant play is sure to entertain the whole family.
The Real Story of Puss in Boots is directed by Joanne Watt and features new music composed by Lachlan Davidson.
Colin's stepbrother is terribly mean to him, just as the sisters next door are to their stepsister, Cinderella. But could a crafty cat change his fortunes?
Opens Friday 13/Jan. See the Puss in Boots page for more information.
