Busselton Repertory

The Repertory Club is a vibrant body with members performing on average, four plays and a pantomime every year. The plays normally run for a season of at least six performances each, while the yearly panto runs for ten performances.

As well as the productions, the Club organises occasional excursions to other live performances in Bunbury or Perth as well as social nights at the theatre

2. Breaking News
The renovated Weld Theatre will be finished and ready to "rock and roll" within months!  Some structural work continues for roof safety and compliance for stage lighting.
It's very important to us all that we welcome back all Club members, old and new, after such a long time.  A very grand party will be organised for members once we have occupancy.  In the meantime, we plan to have "Winter Warmer" sundowners on some Fridays at around 5.00pm, so we can catch up with each other.  Further details to follow.

3. Once Upon a Time in Pantoland - a thousand thanks!

Thanks to all those who provided support so that we could produce a very special and full Pantomime, while out of our home, The Weld Theatre. Our recent Pantomime "Once upon a time in Pantoland" was a great success.  It was held at the Busselton Senior High School in January.
In particular, a special thanks is extended to 

  • City of Busselton for their financial support to cover expenses incurred due to the unavailability of the Weld Theatre.  That support ensured that our iconic annual Pantomime was able to go ahead.

Special mention also goes out to

  • Busselton Senior High School

  • Acting Up!

Our production certainly was a team effort. Thanks to all our volunteers.
The Directors - Leanne and Veronica
The Cast - 40 including lead actors, the ensemble and a junior ensemble
The Crew - too many to be counted, but including the following Team Leaders: Production Managers Libby $ Lesley;  Musical Director Ange;  Choreography Rochelle;  Stage Manager James;  Hair & Make-up Toni;  Props Pyll RIP;  Technical Managers Sam & John;  Costumes Natasha;  Sets & Painting Jay & Catherine; Front of House Chris & Lesley;  Graphics Damien;  Raffles Sarah.
Each of the names above had a full team of skilled volunteers behind them.  We are so proud and grateful to everyone who contributed to "Once upon a time in Pantoland" 2026.
Busselton Repertory Club appreciates their generosity for all the time and skills provided. Chances are they had fun too!
