St Luke’s Theatre Society has been a well-known community theatre group in Brisbane for over 60 years. We have a long history of producing entertaining theatre productions of a high standard and are often commended for our professional acting, quality set construction and technical skills. Along with this, we are known to be a welcoming theatrical society that enjoys providing audiences with an enjoyable theatre experience.
Although our original home was at Ekibin, we are currently performing at the Hall of Christ Church, Yeronga, 10 Cork St, Yeronga.
Four fantastic plays are presented each year and open auditions are held, and we encourage new and established actors to have a go. Information about the auditions is on this website.
Each play season runs for 9 performances including 3 matinees. Our ticket prices include refreshments and a program.
A raffle is held at each play. Proceeds have supported many different charities. We also have a stall selling plants, baked goods, jams. sweet treats and handicrafts. Donations to the raffle and stall would be greatly appreciated.
The hall of the new venue has limited parking in the car park; however, there is parking in the streets nearby. A drop off zone will be set up in Cork St. This allows easy flat access to the hall by the front entrance. See Map under the tab Location.
We are always looking for new people who wish to become part of the Theatre Society. If you wish to be involved through Front of House, Set Construction, Publicity or Acting please contact us by email on stlukestheatrecompany@gmail.com

“Recorded History – St. Luke’s Theatre Society Ekibin 1958 to 2000”
Edited by Janet Moody OAM as a record of the evolvement of this local amateur theatre from its beginnings with a dozen Foundation members to a financially, theatrically and socially successful society over these years until the St. Luke’s Church hall became a community centre for many other tenants.
This truly remarkable record, complete with over a hundred colour pictures of plays, sets, building extensions etc. as well as a listing of charity donations, makes facinating reading. The publication may be accessed at the Oxley Library.
