Flashback Friday to our first opening act! 🎭

In 2006, a brass band, a bustling foyer and live performances helped welcome Drum Theatre to Dandenong’s creative life.

Officially opened by the then Premier of Victoria and Mayor of Greater Dandenong, the theatre began a new chapter for the historic Dandenong Town Hall.

Twenty years on, we’re looking back at the celebrations and planning one just as big.
