We produce theatre that is inclusive of all members of the community.
Productions to Suit All Tastes
From “Essgee’s Pirates of Penzance’ to ‘Annie’, Waterdale has produced theatre and music theatre productions since 2006 in the Banyule and Whittlesea areas. Our spirit of support and inclusiveness allows all members of the community to participate in great theatre, on and off the stage.
