About Us
Welcome to Rosebud Theatre Group
where the magic of theatre meets the heart of the community!
In 2021Southern Peninsula Players and Rosebud Astral theatre became Rosebud Theatre Group. SPP was formed in 1952 and is still going strong as one of Victoria’s oldest community, not-for-profit theatre groups. We enjoy the use of the Rosebud Memorial Hall on the beautiful foreshore of Port Phillip Bay in Rosebud on Victoria's exciting Mornington Peninsula. (Melways 158 D-12).
There is 60 Years experience between the two groups and while we start a new era, we haven’t lost sight of who we are.
At RTG, we believe that the world of theatre is for everyone. Our mission is to create an inclusive and welcoming space where people of all diverse abilities and cultures can come together to experience the joy of Performance and Production. Whether you're a seasoned performer, a curious newcomer, or someone who wants to learn about all the backstage stuff or a person who simply loves to watch a good show, there's a place for you here.
Our Vision
We aim to educate and involve our community in the wonderful world of theatre. Through rehearsals and workshops, performances, and hands-on experiences, we strive to make theatre accessible to all. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and share their unique stories.
Inclusiveness and Diversity
Inclusiveness is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to providing a supportive environment where individuals of all abilities and backgrounds can thrive. Our programs are designed to be adaptable and accommodating, ensuring that everyone can participate fully and comfortably and safely.
Affordable Entertainment
We understand that access to quality entertainment should not be a luxury. That's why we offer affordable ticket prices and special discounts for families, those with diverse abilities and their carers. Our goal is to make sure that everyone in our community can enjoy the magic of theatre without financial barriers.
Community Engagement
Our theatre is more than just a place to watch performances; it's a hub for community engagement. We host a variety of events, from cabaret nights to trivia nights, fundraisers and to community theatre productions, where local talent can shine. We also offer educational workshops to help people of all ages and abilities learn about the different aspects of theatre, from acting and directing to set design, stage management, lighting and sound.
