About Us
Golden Rivers Theatre Group is a community theatre group based in Barham NSW, in the heart of the Central Murray region.
GRTG performs both musicals and plays and brings together a wide cross section of the rural community.
Our 2012 production has been decided. Rodgers & Hammersetin's Cinderella. The production team at this stage will be Producer: Courtney Guy, Director: Ann Douthat, Music Director: Deb Leslie, Costumes & Dance Director: Tracey Timms, Technical Directors: Michael Douthat and Ben Timms, Stage & Props Managers: Heather Milley and Pam Brown. The auditions will be in April with the show in August.
History
In 1990 a group of keen volunteers decided to raise some funds for the local community hospital. The means was a concert hall musical performance. This group grew over several years, becoming incorporated as Golden Rivers Theatre Group in 1995. Musical productions have been the major focus of GRTG, though several plays have been performed in the later years.
In 2007 GRTG acquired the management of the Faulkner Pavilion at the Barham Recreation Reserve. The under-utilised building was gradually transformed into a performing arts facility that is used for music and theatre workshops, school performances and visiting groups as well as being the home of GRTG.
GRTG is a group of dedicated amateur performers who work with great enthusiasm to prepare and perform shows for the local community, with the occasional performance being taken on tour. The group provides the opportunity for local talent, known and new, to find, develop and hone their skills and love of all things theatre. The age range, though depending on the show, can be from 8 to 80, and as everyone comes together regularly to rehearse, sing, practice scenes, dance, dialogue, build, paint, sew, play with light and sound, laugh and grow new friendships, a theatre family is born.
Over the years we have seen more than 250 members, over 100 of them being children and teens. More than 10% of these young people have moved into jobs and study related to the performing arts. How fabulous is that!
The members and friends of GRTG take great pride in the company and the Pavlova, as our facility is affectionately called. Many, many hours of time, work and love have made it what it is today, and we would welcome any new members. Why not join us, even if it’s just for a cuppa on our Member events!
