Our Programs
Dreamhouse Ensemble (ages 12-21)
TERM 4 COMMENCES Wednesday 7 October, 2026
Join the Mornington Peninsula’s highly acclaimed Dreamhouse Ensemble and become part of a dynamic, inclusive group of young performing artists, where people of all genders and abilities are welcomed and supported.
Our weekly theatre workshops are designed to enrich your performing arts skills while building lasting friendships.
Our sessions focus on theatre games, improvisation, text exploration, and developing essential skills in devising, writing, voice, and movement.
We bring these skills together in our annual full-scale theatre production.
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 Wednesday from 4-6 pm at Rosebud Memorial Small Hall – 994 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud.

School Holiday Workshops (ages 12- 21)
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.
