We are a growing community of locals that make creating original theatre more accessible and affordable

  • Acting Workshops

    Acting sessions where we read scripts of short plays and scenes, or more specialised sessions such as improvisation or Shakespeare. Every three weeks.

  • Writers Workshops

    Come to discuss ideas, delve into characters and plot twists. We run monthly drop-in workshops and more formal courses to develop original plays.

  • Social Events

    Host social events in Manly where everyone is invited to connect and perform. We also plan group trips into the city to enjoy performances by other theatre companies.

What People Say About Us…

“MTG is an amazing group, very inclusive, accepting and supportive... I’ve been able to act, write a script, partake in different workshops and meet a whole range of interesting people with different backgrounds and life experiences.”
“It is incredible what the team [from MTG] created in such a short period of time... From nothing, we now have a short play festival - 10 locally written plays, and all using local actors. It is so exciting to have a vibrant arts and culture scene happening in Manly.”
“Huge THANK YOU to the organisers of the Writing Course... such an enjoyable six weeks which grew a bunch of scripts from our group, even though some of us have never written before. I’ll miss the belly laughs!”
“[MTG] is such an awesome medium for having fun, being silly and creative and meeting new people! ”
“I’ve always felt like an outsider in my life, but since joining MTG, because everyone is so unique, I feel like I finally fit in somewhere.”
“I’ve been involved in community theatre since 1985... this lot really have put the “community” in community theatre”
