About us
Riverland Musical Society is a community based theatre organisation proudly celebrating live performance in the Riverland for over 70 years.
We bring people together through musical theatre, concerts, and creative projects that showcase local talent both on stage and behind the scenes. From performers and musicians to creatives, technicians, and volunteers, our society is built on collaboration, passion, and a shared love of the arts.
At the heart of everything we do is community. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where people of all ages and experience levels can learn, grow, and feel confident to give things a go. Many of our members take their first steps onto the stage with us, while others return year after year as part of a supportive and familiar creative home.
Our productions range from much loved classics to contemporary works, always with a focus on quality, accessibility, and storytelling. We are proud to provide opportunities for local performers to develop their skills while offering Riverland audiences vibrant, memorable theatre experiences close to home.
Riverland Musical Society is run by dedicated volunteers who give their time and expertise to keep live theatre thriving in our region. With the support of our members, audiences, sponsors, and the wider community, we continue to celebrate creativity, connection, and the joy of performing arts in the Riverland.
Whether you are interested in performing, volunteering, supporting from the audience, or getting involved behind the scenes, we would love to welcome you to the Riverland Musical Society family.
