Amateur theatre at its finest.

Off Shore Theatre Phillip Island began in 1995, when it was decided there and then that a theatre company on the island was not only viable but necessary. Shows since then are continually sold out.

The group included Amanda Price, Anne Davie, Michael Cleeland, Sue Pearce and Sharon Davie. From that night the theatre came into being. It was agreed that the new company was to produce a Pantomime or Melodrama the following summer.

Thus a play was chosen, an enthusiastic group of players cast and Cinderella became the first production staged by the burgeoning company.

The group wanted to describe the new company in a way that reflected life on Phillip Island – Onshore Theatre was enthusiastically agreed to. A few days later, however, Michael was discussing the name with some local surfer friends. They told him that onshore wind was not what the surfers looked for when heading out, but that an offshore wind was much more favourable. Michael quickly made a few phone calls and it was decided that Offshore Theatre would be the company’s name.

Off Shore Theatre Group was incorporated soon after that. Cinderella was a huge success and set up the company financially, allowing it to produce more shows. At that time the company attempted to put on three productions a year, a comedy, a drama and a pantomime. These days the company thrives on producing a major production once a year, and staging readings at the Phillip Island Winery on Berrys Beach Road.

Off Shore Theatre Phillip Island shows are regularly sold out as the company continues to deliver quality theatre that has entertained audiences for almost twenty years.
