About Us

Formed in 1946, Williamstown Little Theatre is one of the leading non-professional theatre companies in Melbourne.

The aim of the theatre is to present quality, affordable theatre to the people of Williamstown and the wider community. We have a large and loyal subscriber base covering metropolitan Melbourne and beyond.

Since 1967 our home has been a converted bakery at 2-4 Albert Street, Williamstown. Our cosy auditorium holds 69 patrons and we have a fully licensed bar for your enjoyment.. We also have extensive wardrobe, furniture and properties departments on site.

Since its inception, WLT has presented over 200 plays including several Australian and Victorian premieres. Our programs have included the classics from Shakespeare, Wilde and Coward to the contemporary works of David Williamson, David Hare and Terrence McNally. We are particularly proud of our record of presenting Australian plays. Each year we produce 5 shows, mainly plays with the occasional small musical.

Manned entirely by volunteers, the theatre provides a variety of creative opportunities, ranging from acting and production to backstage, front of house and administration.

WLT has enjoyed many successes over the years including wins at the Moomba Festival, the Waverley Festival and the VDL Awards. We also present our own
in-house awards for excellence. We are delighted to see many of our members and former members appearing on the professional stage and on film and television.

Williamstown Little Theatre is a member of the Victorian Drama League.
