A community theatre company on the East Coast Bays of Auckland's North Shore, which began in 1952 as the Torbay Dramatic Society. It has been based at the Torbay Community Hall on Watea Road since the mid-1970s, and its performances are staged at the Gate Theatre within the hall. The company is run by its members and describes itself as built on their talent and enthusiasm.
The company usually stages three or four shows a year, including one or two plays for adult audiences. It also holds three or four Club Nights, when members perform a song, a skit or a short scene for each other in a friendly setting. The website lists current productions, including On Air, a 1940s Christmas comedy radio show, and Torbay Focus, with dates and times given on its event pages, so check the site for the current season. Recent work includes a Christmas Carol concert by a newly formed choir, and a community working bee that repainted the hall exterior. Membership and auditions are open through the website. The website gives no ticket prices, parking or accessibility details, and quotes no audience comments.
