Current News is a new section of this site where we will be posting news of current events and happenings at the WMIAA and WTC…

Held every year for over 30 years, the Follies has long been a highlight of the Warrandyte Theatre Company’s annual program. The Follies are staged in March each year to coincide with the Warrandyte Festival and engage the Company’s wide-ranging talents in an evening of comedy, song and dance.
The material for the Follies is all written locally by members and friends of WTC and is based around a theme which differs every year. The show itself is presented cabaret-style, giving audience members the opportunity to eat, drink and be merry whilst being entertained in Warrandyte’s unique style.
The Follies this year had the theme “Follies 2012 – A Space Oddity” and featured intergalactic characters, earthlings and some well-known faces from TV and the silver screen, all caught up in a comedic and musical romp.
This year’s show is now over, but now there’s next year’s to look forward to. To infinity, and beyond!
