Prior to the foundation of Wyong Musical Theatre Company, Sandra
Plowright, the founding member of the company, had a desire to bring
musical theatre to the northern end of the Central Coast which, she
felt, for years had been lacking on this part of the coast.
In 1995
Sandra formed a committee of associates, with herself as president, with
the goal of establishing a musical theatre company. Also on the
committee were Michael Burke (Vice President), Pam Issacs (Treasurer),
Carl Martin and Greg Derry (Floor Members). She and the committee began
lobbying Wyong Shire Council
and Councilors, along with Local Businesses, for support of this
venture.
Sandra was successful in gaining enough support and sponsorship
from the local community to be able to mount an inaugural musical
production of Guys and Dolls in 1996 which was performed in September of that year at Wyong Memorial Hall. From that year on the Company strived to produce two adult productions each year with all personnel volunteering their time and efforts.
To this day no member of the company has been paid for their services.
