A Midsummer Night’s Queen

On Monday February 2nd the DHTC will recommence our acting workshops. These are free to members of the theatre company, with membership being only $15 per year. Workshops are held every Monday evening from 7:15pm at the Drill Hall, Mullumbimby and you can join us on any Monday.

These workshops are for actors with or without experience, held in a friendly, co-operative environment and run by Mike Russo, an experienced and qualified acting teacher, who has run these workshops for fifteen years.

This year the workshops will consist of skills training and exercises to free up your creativity with an emphasis on script work as we prepare for our short play competition HOT SHORTS in September. Participants in the workshops will be given every opportunity to appear in these plays or you may prefer to help out backstage or even direct a play with help from our experienced directors.

If you are interested in attending or want more information please email

The Drill Hall Theatre has completed a backstage upgrade that improves accessibility, functionality and working conditions for performers, while enhancing the experience for audiences.

The project includes a new internal bathroom with shower and an all-abilities toilet, allowing performers to access facilities during rehearsals and performances without leaving the building. Previously, performers were required to share the audience bathroom and exit the theatre mid-show.

An internal wall was removed to extend the dressing room, creating a more flexible backstage space, and a new stage entry was added via large barn doors to improve circulation and access for performers.

Alongside the removal of the raised stage, the Drill Hall is now a flat-floor, fully accessible performance space. This supports flexible seating, mixed-ability performances and greater participation across the community.

These upgrades bring the Drill Hall Theatre in line with contemporary performance standards, making it safer, more inclusive and more attractive to artists, audiences and hirers.

This project was supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW’s Creative Capital – Minor Works and Equipment program.

The Drill Hall Theatre Company is thrilled to share the exciting results of four projects made possible by the Regional Arts Fund. Hot Mess for Kids, A Midsummer Night’s Queen, The Chronicles of Eldershaw, and Displace I Call Home showcase a diverse range of artistic styles, pushing creative boundaries and offering audiences innovative theatrical experiences. From immersive life drawing to a reimagined Shakespearean musical, these productions reflect the exceptional talent and bold vision of our local artists. Discover more about these groundbreaking productions and their upcoming performances.
