Melting Pot Theatre

Melting Pot Theatre

The company brings original works and adaptations to the stage on a regular basis. Our theatre group is totally inclusive. We invite all locals to write, act, direct or learn theatre craft. Our rehearsal space is a safe place where you will be supported and encouraged by experienced industry professionals. The company is open to all, there is no membership fee, but membership to the BCA is required for insurance.

MPT is a busy adult theatre company. Members of the company write, direct, and make sets, props, costumes, and soundscapes. Many of our company come from theatrical and design backgrounds. We do creative work on a serious scale, always pushing boundaries, and always looking for new ways to tell a story. Our shows have attracted popular and critical acclaim with our adaptation of Macbeth being nominated in several categories and winning a CAT Award in 2023 for Best Original Work.

Major Production: Melting Pot Theatre runs a variety of full-length plays and short-form plays throughout the year. Typically we perform two major productions per year. The company is dedicated to producing works of ambition and scale. We create and share stories with artists and audiences that provide opportunities for reflection, revelation and joy. We are a not-for-profit company, with all ticket sales going back to the community.

Melting Pot Youth Theatre:

In 2025, Melting Pot Theatre launches a new initiative offering a creative outlet for the children of the Southern Highlands – Melting Pot Youth Theatre, where the KIDs are the stars! Whether they love to sing, dance, or act (or all three!), this is their chance to shine on stage, just like the grown-ups! MPYT is led by Tina Pollard and Greg Miller, both seasoned performers and educators with extensive experience in youth performing arts. Producing a Broadway Junior musical provides a perfect platform for children to learn and grow in a professional, yet accessible, environment. These musicals are designed specifically for young performers, ensuring age-appropriate content and material that allows them to showcase their skills. In addition to developing performance abilities, participants will also gain valuable life skills, including discipline, communication, and teamwork.

MPT is a Child Safe Theatre Company. To see our Policy and Procedures document, click here.
