The St Luke's Theatre Society The Theatre Society has enjoyed over 50 years of successful operation. Its venue is the Church Hall. Auditions are not held. Instead, they present rehearsed, costumed and fully staged play-readings over a particular weekend where the potential of an aspiring member can be assessed. Four major plays (comedies being the most popular choice) are presented each year and new members who have shown promise are given roles along with the main established actors. Guest directors are invited into the yearly program to keep the standard high. The Society attracts good audiences and each major play season runs for 8 performances including 2 matinees. From profits, exceedingly generous donations are directed to a long list of charities, including World Vision, Smith Family Sponsorship and local and overseas charities. The hall has been set up as a theatre venue that attracts other fund-raisers who benefit from their discount offers for Block Bookings of 20+. New members are encouraged to offer to be involved in Front of House work (ushering, selling at the charity stall etc.) The group is ecumenical and friendly, with anyone over 17 years of age involved with the many aspects of theatre. Their activities are geared to presenting a top quality family entertainment at an extremely reasonable price. It is not compulsory to be a financial Society member to be involved.
