Welcome to The Hartwell Players, Melbourne's oldest community theatre company. The company began in 1938, and is still going strong. Read All About Hartwell to find out more about how it all started.
We produce four shows a year: a pantomime or children's show in the January school holidays; a Shakespeare show; a series of one-act plays; and a full length production. Use the links on the left to find out about our current and future shows.
