Entertain, engage and enrich the
community through performing arts.

The purpose of Perth Theatre Project (PTP) is to:

  • provide year-round performance arts events that both entertain and engage our audiences and supporters
  • provide opportunities to develop performance and technical skills related to the performing arts

STP Artistic Mission

To bring content and context forward so clearly that our audiences are richly engaged, having such strong experiences that they are moved to reflect on, share and return to the
theatre.

Studio Theatre Perth is first a community theatre.

Above all, it is an expression of the diversity, energy, creativity
and generosity of Perth and area folks coming together on a project-by-project basis in the arts.

Primarily these projects are non-professional, non-profit plays in a variety of genres, completely generated by volunteers.
However, our standards are high as we continuously strive for professional level productions for our beloved audiences.
