Full Throttle Theatre Company Information

Props Youth Theatre is now the youth arm of Full Throttle Theatre Company, and is for performers aged from five to eighteen years. The Props company was founded in 2000 by directors Karen Vane and Michelle Veness. Todd Barty joined the directorial team in 2001. Props amalgamated with Full Throttle Theatre Company in early 2012. "The most fantastic part of being the youth arm of Full Throttle is that we now have a home of our own - something that we have needed for years and have finally achieved. We have a place where we will be able to rehearse AND perform our shows, store our wardrobe and do our office work! We also have a management committee and a staff that will provide vital infrastructure to support our creative work. In addition, we will have our own website and our own regular e-newsletter to keep everyone up to date!" Full Throttle Theatre Company is Australia's oldest regional professional theatre company and has been providing northern audiences with quality plays for twenty-five years. Founded by legendary European director Jean-Pierre Voos, Full Throttle first existed under the name of Capricorn Line, Tropic Line, and then Tropic Sun. Not only has the company provided excellent entertainment, it has also provided diverse opportunities for regional communities to participate in creative activity and professional development for local theatre workers. Props Youth Theatre shares much of this vision, and the partnership is of mutual benefit to both organisations.
