History of AMTC Book For Sale

Albatross Musical Theatre Company – A History

As part of the celebration of 50 years of performing, AMTC has commissioned the creation of a history book. Over 52 pages with numerous show photos, it lists every show performed in the 50 years AMTC has been in business, and many of the people who have contributed (alas not all). There are anecdotes from earlier members and explanatory text about the workings of AMTC

It also details how AMTC has grown from a proactive group of Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiasts performing at a gymnasium at HMAS Albatross in 1975 to a well respected theatre company regularly performing at a professional venue, the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre.

Cost is $20. You will be able to pick up the book or have it posted to you.

Pickup can be at the School of Arts during a rehearsal of From Penzance to Present or from a performance of that show.

Postage and handling with tracking is $10.00

You can order your book on line here

(Just a reminder – tickets for AMTC’s 50th Anniversary production – Penzance to Present are available here)

JAM Fish Tank Is Full

Thank you for the interest in JAM and Finding Nemo Jr, but …

OUR AQUARIUM IS FULL!

We have been overwhelmed with interest in our JAM program for 2025. Enrolments closed on 23rd Feb and although in the past we have taken on children after this date, we cannot do it this year.  Some families were hoping we could accommodate children who are not quite 10 before 6/2/25, but we won’t be able to do this either.  We will contact all relevant families.
