The Maitland Music & Arts Club is a community arts group dedicated to producing and promoting the musical, dramatic and visual arts in the central Yorke Peninsula region.
The club was formed in 1953 with Harold Coombe the first president and ‘The Messiah’ the first production. Since then the club has performed over fifty shows including one-act plays, theatre restaurant evenings, choir festivals and, of course, musicals.
Club musicals have been directed by both local and ‘imported’ directors and our reputation for theatrical excellence is in no small part due to breadth of local acting talent and the ‘education’ aspect of teaching theatrical skills as part of the normal rehearsal process.
The club has been engaged in a long-term plan for renovating the theatre area and has completed many of its goals including improved lighting and sound equipment.
New members are actively sort for future productions, so if you’re into acting, singing, music, dance, backstage work, lighting, sound, props, scenery or just being involved with a group of friendly people who love the performing arts, contact our president Richard Cane (0428 855296) for further information.
