Who We Are
Highlands Theatre Group Inc. — better known as Highlands Theatre Group, or simply HTG
The Southern Highlands' longest producing theatre company
History of HTG
Highlands Theatre Group Inc. was incorporated on 16th June 1994, with a clear purpose: to provide and encourage live entertainment, performance and training opportunities for the Southern Highlands and adjoining communities.
"Provide and encourage live entertainment, performance and training opportunities for the Southern Highlands and adjoining communities."
HTG is managed as an amateur theatre group by a committee of members, none of whom receive any remuneration. Our performers, orchestra, and off-stage crew are equally unpaid — volunteers who bring extraordinary dedication to everything we do.
We are governed by our Constitution, ratified at a Special General Members Meeting on 20 December 2021. We are proud of the professionalism of all our people, who together make up the Highlands' leading amateur theatre group.
We are also grateful to our long-term supporters and sponsors, whose contribution makes it possible to keep ticket prices accessible for our whole community.
HTG was incorporated in 1994. Its predecessor organisations trace back to 1885.

This year saw the addition of reports from various other departments and sub-committees to ensure members were informed of all activities from varying view points.
In addition to presentation of required reports, the 2025 Committee were appointed.
In addition to presentation of required reports, the 2024 Committee were appointed. This year was the first that an election was necessary with more candidates for Committee than available positions. This is seen as a sign that HTG is very healthy a with significant membership base and many seeking to serve the group as Committee members. HTG welcomes those elected to the 2024 Committee and thanks those outgoing members, acknowledging their contributions to the Committee.
Finally, long term member Bronwyn Miller was awarded Life Membership in recognition of her many years of service to the group both backstage and through administrative roles.
In addition to presentation of required reports, the 2023 Committee were appointed. HTG wishes to thank outgoing Committee Members Brian and Haydn for their contributions over the past few years. Both are remaining connected with the group through non-Committee roles.
It was pleasing to see many new members attending the AGM and taking a keen interest in the future of the group.
In addition to presentation of required reports, committee elections were also held with the 2022 Committee seeing some new eyes and some departures. HTG would like to thank outgoing members Janette Daly, Sue McDonald, Mark Davidson, Peach Robb for their contributions throughout 2021.
We look forward to continuing working with Mark, Sue and Peach in a non-committee capacity and wish Janette well now that she has departed the district.
Further Life Memberships were also awarded as part of the agenda acknowledging the years of hard work of a significant number of our members.
Finally, HTG is pleased to announce the passing of a new Constitution with more than the required 75% of Full Members voting in favour. The new Constitution should serve us, well into the future!
