About Us - Beenleigh Theatre Group

Established in 1978, BTG is the Beenleigh Theatre Group Incorporated formed by a small group of persons, many of whom are still active members, interested in the participation & performance of live theatre.

Although it is not intended to be a commercial profit making enterprise it is run on business lines & shows are run with the aim of generating an income to cover costs & provide the means to improve & expand our equipment & facilities.

It has always been our philosophy that as soon as we charge an entry fee, there is an obligation to give the public value for money. Therefore, we always strive for the highest possible standard in all our productions.

Beenleigh Theatre Group Inc. has brought hundreds of live productions to Beenleigh. Our memorable past reflects many popular musical productions, interspersed with plays, theatre restaurants, revues and pantomimes.

How does BTG work?

Under it’s constitution, (copy available from the membership secretary), BIG annually elects a committee to run its affairs. It maintains proper records & books of accounts as required by its constitution & the Queensland Government laws. The accounts are audited by an Independent auditor & the resulting financial statements tabled at the Annual General Meeting. All committee work done by members on behalf of the Beenleigh Theatre Group is voluntary.

What shows has BTG done?

For over a quater of a century the members of the Beenleigh Theatre Group have been entertaining the district. During that time we have enjoyed 3 permanent venues and toured to other regions to perform our shows.

How is BTG Financed?

Each member of BTG pays an annual subscription; most of this amount is taken up by the costs of the group’s Insurances which make sure members are covered in their BTG activities. Another part of it goes towards the producing & circulating the group’s monthly letter. The majority of finances come from income generated by the group’s productions.

Where does BTG meet?

At the ‘Crete Street Theatre’ on the corner of Kent and Crete Streets, Beenleigh. BTG is very fortunate to have the use of such excellent theatre facilities which are part of the Beenleigh Community Centre Complex built by the Albert Shire Council & officially opened in December 1993. BTG invested heavily in this project as an alternative to a separate venue originally scheduled to be built on the site that now sports the “Beenleigh Marketplace” Shopping Complex
