Community Theatre Seasons 2022

Local theatres are preparing to sing, dance and act up a storm in the year ahead.

Following two stop-start years of uncertainty, Community Theatre companies are busily preparing their 2022 seasons, announcing either complete seasons, opening productions or new dates for shows held over from last year.

We’re pleased to share news of some of the plays and musicals which will burst onto local stages across Australia and New Zealand in the new year.
