Company information
MATES is a community theatre group that is known as the Musical And Theatrical Entertainment Society of the Redlands Inc., and has been a part of the cultural landscape of the Redland Shire since 1990.
MATES is a non-profit group which means that all members are volunteers, and no one derives any financial benefit from the group’s productions.
MATES is an incorporated body which means we must report to the government each year.
As an incorporated body we are run by a management committee that consists of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and usually a general committee of four members.
MATES perform three shows a year. The first two productions being either comedy or drama scripts and, where possible, the end of year production has been a musical.
The home of MATES is the Birkdale School of Arts Hall, and it is here where the group rehearses two nights a week, and performs their shows in a theatre-restaurant format.
Rather than traditional theatre seating MATES audiences are seated at tables. Audiences are served a complementary supper at interval, and a licensed bar operates at each performance.
MATES commonly attract an aggregate audience of between 460 to 480 patrons over a performance season which runs for four weeks.
The relaxed, informal nature of MATES has been popular with patrons since the group’s inception, and it is a privilege to have regular attendances from several local social clubs.
A great atmosphere and high quality performances make an evening with MATES the perfect way to spend an evening with mates.
If you share a passion for live theatre, are looking to fill in a few spare evenings, would like to meet some new people and have lots of fun at the same time then MATES would love to hear from you.
