Swan Hill Theatre Group

Swan Hill Theatre came into being in 1945- founded by Marjorie Mcleod B.E.M. in conjunction with the then Mayor Duncan Douglas. *Shakespeare Festivals held for 30 years were supported by schools, community organizations and businesses and brought many visitors to Swan Hill. *Over the years many talented people continued to foster the performing arts giving young students an opportunity to experience live theatre. *In January 1981 Swan Hill Theatre Group Co-operative Ltd. was registered as a Community Advancement Society acquiring by its own efforts the Memorial Hall as its permanent home. *The Theatre Group has indeed been fortunate that Ron Field with years of experience in professional theatre, came to Swan Hill (in retirement) and has been responsible for 31 productions over 20 years. *The annual Musical has involved scores of aspiring actors supported by dedicated musicians- always with the aim of encouraging the youth of Swan Hill and district to take part.
