Welcome to STAG

No drama group existed in the local Strathmore area.  That is until 1954 when Strathmore Theatrical Arts Group Inc affectionately known as STAG was formed.

The inaugural first meeting of twelve members was held in the home of Mary and Ron Little of Bruce St.   The site of its initial productions (And This Was Odd, Poison Pen and Here We Come Gathering) was at the St. John’s Presbyterian Church Hall in Essendon, until the permanent purpose-built facility was organised through the Strathmore Community Association.

STAG’s aim – then as it is now – is to bring together people of similar interests and to provide a true community theatre where members can share their talents and abilities in diverse fields of performance.

Over the years we have continued to present quality productions for the enjoyment of all and will continue to do so for many years to come.

An Inspector Calls

In 1912, in the industrial north of England, the family of a prosperous factory owner are celebrating the daughter’s engagement. Their festivities are interrupted by the arrival of a police inspector, who reports the suicide death of a young woman in a local infirmary.
Are the family members correct in assuming that this tragedy has nothing to do with them? Under the inspector’s probing, a remarkable story unfolds. But is the police inspector really a police inspector?
This classic play by J.B. Priestley presents a window on society, within the framework of an intriguing mystery.
