Wangaratta Players Inc.

Wangaratta Players Inc. is a not-for-profit amateur theatre group founded in 1951. Established by a group of Wangaratta locals, in a backyard shed, who had a keen interest in theatre & the desire to entertain audiences in Wangaratta & surrounding areas.

We currently have an active membership base of approximately 250 individuals (including over 30 Youth Group participants) and a strong online presence with over 1,400 Facebook followers.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our valuable past & present voluntary members over the last 74 years, Wangaratta Players Inc. have staged and hosted 240 productions at the Stagedoor, Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre, and on tour, involving hundreds of volunteers from Wangaratta and surrounding communities.

We have presented a variety of productions from musicals, comedies, youth productions & masterclasses, and thought-provoking dramas, among others. We have guided and supported many Youth Group participants, providing opportunities for them to showcase their talents in various local community activities. Some have even gone on to build professional careers as actors, stage crew, technicians, and managers within the entertainment industry.
