The Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company of SA Inc (The MET) has been part of South Australia’s artistic history for the past 65 years.

We were founded in October 1958 by a small group of music enthusiasts and our first production was the operetta “Goodnight Vienna” in May 1959. In October 2023 we celebrated our 65th Birthday.

The MET is a non-profit theatrical teaching company and many past members of the Company have successfully pursued their professional careers in South Australia, Interstate and Overseas. It is much valued by members and patrons , producing two first class amateur productions each year in May and October.

The cost of producing an amateur production is in the vicinity of $85,000 to $90,000. Major costs include royalties, theatre hire, orchestra, advertising, set construction, lighting, sound and insurances to name a few.

The MET is an award-winning company, and is administered by a group of committed volunteers, who form a responsible Management Committee. We have also been most fortunate to have many volunteers who are strong, highly organized, dedicated and hardworking. They make up our multi-talented committee members and production teams, casts, crews, musicians, set teams, sound and front of house personnel. Their expertise is obvious in the end results of our shows.
