Last chance for 2007 show bookings!

Seriously. Alpha Shows are not like other children's theatre shows, which means we have virtually sold out completely for 2007. Check below:

  • Schools.
    • VIC schools have about 3 weeks in October for Beauty and the Beast left to choose from, as well as Feb 12th, Feb 19th, March 2nd, and May 18th.
    • NSW about 3 or 4 days in late November/early December, or early Feb.
    • ACT SOLD OUT except for Sept 20th 1:30pm and Sept 25th 1:30pm
    • SA SOLD OUT except for Whyalla area 4th April 1:30pm and 12th March 1:45pm
  • Theatres. Only 5 holiday dates left for the entire year.
  • Evening & Weekend Shows. If you're a community group or theatre, we can give lots of options for weekend and evening shows. Alpha Shows make great events for all sorts of groups of people who love theatre, including family nights or even Adult Only versions of our shows for a theatre-restaurant styled evening.

HUNCHBACK WEEKEND SHOW
Open to the public at Plenty Ranges Theatre THIS SATURDAY 28th October

For your only chance to see Hunchback with your family, book tickets by calling 03 9217 2317. Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre is located 28km (about 30 min drive) north of Melbourne. It's one of the very best theatres in Melbourne. Very easy to get to, so come along!

Hunchback is in its third year of touring and is a great, classic literature, music theatre event for children, as well as mums and dads and grandparents everywhere!

This makes it an extremely special event to experience and will appeal to all ages - especially older boys who will love the sword fighting and the themes of the show.

Pictured right are Emily Doran and Chris Bishop, playing the principle characters in the show, with Ben Jackson and James Cutler pictured below. Also in the show, Ashley Weidner and Laura Wilson. Come support the cast as they are just as phenomenal in this show as any shows you may have seen them in before. If you know them (or even if you don't!), this is your invitation to come along!

Melbourne Children's Theatre


New company launched!

Alpha have founded a new company called 'Melbourne Children's Theatre'. For now, the company and the logo are synonymous with Alpha Shows. It is intended to represent the shows that Alpha produces as Melbourne's best, most engaging and broadest appealling children's theatre, and as quality children's theatre that tours all over Australia.

You can choose to market shows at your theatre under this name, as it will no doubt create more recognition and prestige, and hopefully, greater audiences.
