Dreamhouse Ensemble (ages 12 – 21)
TERM 1 COMMENCES 4 FEBURARY 2026
Are you a young person on the Mornington Peninsula aged 12-21 with a passion for theatre and the performing arts?
Join the Mornington Peninsula’s highly acclaimed Dreamhouse Ensemble and be part of a dynamic and inclusive group of young performing artists, that fosters a welcoming environment for individuals of all genders and abilities.
Our weekly theatre workshops are designed to enrich your performing arts skills while building lasting friendships.
At Dreamhouse, we believe in learning through play. Our sessions focus on having fun with theatre games, improvisation, text exploration, and developing essential skills in devising, writing, voice, and movement.
These skills come together in our July 2025 full-length production – details to come.
Beyond our main production, ensemble members have the chance to participate in an annual storytelling project, local festivals, and special events.
We encourage all our members to explore all aspects of theatre production. Alongside acting techniques, you’ll get opportunities to attend workshops led by professional artists in areas such as set design, puppetry, scriptwriting, sound, lighting, stage combat and more.
Our ensemble includes young people from diverse backgrounds and schools across the Peninsula, with or without prior drama experience. All you need is enthusiasm and a love for theatre!
We meet each week from 4-6 pm at Rosebud Memorial Small Hall – 994 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud.

School Holiday Workshops (12- 21 years)
Throughout the year, Dreamhouse offers school holiday workshops for both ensemble members and other young people interested in developing their performing arts skills. The workshops are run by industry professionals and, in the past, have covered improvisation, stage combat, puppetry, devising, acting for screen, physical theatre/clowning, and scriptwriting. Participating in workshops is a great way to get a taste of what Dreamhouse Theatre is like and is perfect for first-time drama students to learn the basics of acting and stagecraft. For more experienced students, it is a great way to hone their skills further.
