ABOUT US
ARK Theatre is a Not-for-Profit Community Theatre Company, based in Lilydale.
We began in June 2013 with a group of thespians looking for the right balance of both theatre & social activity. ARK Theatre is dedicated to providing a friendly, high quality experience for both our members and our audience. Our membership starts at 14 years of age to include a forum for students and young adults up to the age of 24 (youthARK) and an open age group above 18 years of age. It is expected that all members are committed to the traditional community theatre spirit.
We are dedicated to and are guided by our Mission, Vision and Value Statements as well as our Code of Conduct. ARK Theatre is a ChildWise|ChildSafe organisation.
