About The Archive
Theatre Works performance archives.
In 2010, Theatre Works celebrated 30 years since the company's formation and 25 years in its current home in St Kilda!
In celebration of this milestone, we are very excited to present to you our history in a wonderful, easy to reference online format.
Over the coming months, you'll find more wonderful records of the hundreds of shows and events that have been performed by and at Theatre Works since 1980.
That's got to be something worth celebrating!
If you have further information, images, documents, videos and photos to contribute, we would love to hear from you!
