Community Theatre in Melbourne

Can you clarify - here 'community' usually means amateur shows, so are you looking for pro work or amateur? Cause I don't know of any amateur group who goes and does stuff in prisons or anything like that. For amateur groups in your location, click on the 'companies' link at the top of this page. You can search by suburb.
