As a small theatre located in the outskirts of Melbourne, we endeavour to inspire and entertain both our audience and actors. Our little theatre with a BIG HEART has developed deep roots in the local Nillumbuk community and with a passion for storytelling we provide an exceptional theatre experience for the young and old.
Please join us for a night out in support of the STAGE ARTS.
2021 SEASON
In light of the current Victorian lockdown situation, our season of Peter Pan Jr. is now regrettably cancelled.
The upcoming season of The Long Road has also been affectred by current lockdowns and is postponed to a date to be advised.
This is of course greatly frustrating to cast, crew and patrons alike. We share your disappointment and look forward to more certain times ahead.
Our light is on.
The details for the auditions are as follows:
Cast required 2 male, 2 female to play the following parts:
Richard Hannay - Male - aged (to play) mid to late 30s. Suave, sophisticated, a bit of a ladies man but also vulnerable. (English accent)
Annabella/Pamela/Margaret - Female - aged (to play) late 20s. Multiple female characters who are spies, housewives, love interests and a whole lot more. (German/Scottish/English accents)
Clown 1 - Male - aged 18+ to play multiple characters of multiple genders.
Clown 2 - Female - aged 18+ to play multiple characters of multiple genders.
Note to auditionees: The Clown roles play somewhere in the vicinity of 30+ characters. The ability to perform a variety of accents (Scottish/English/Cockney/various) will be well regarded.

Do you love theatre but can't see yourself on stage? Do we have an opportunity for you!
Eltham Little Theatre is always looking for volunteers to help out in the many behind-the-scenes roles that play an essential part in staging our productions.
For the technically minded, there is light and sound design, as well as operating light and sound during each show. All the thrills of live theatre from the comfort of our 'bio' box!
For those creative in other areas, there are many opportunities in set design, set building, costume design and sourcing, prop gathering and set dressing.
And of course, no theatre experience is complete without a warm greeting on arrival and friendly treatment throughout the evening. Our front of house staff are responsible for making this happen and are always ready to accept new volunteers.
Enjoy the theatre in a whole new way. Join us!
