Theatre Works was formed in 1980 by a group of students (including Peter Finlay, Susie Fraser, Carolyn [Caz] Howard, Hannie Rayson and Peter Sommerfeld) graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts’ Drama School. The company went on producing shows in smaller venues in the Eastern suburbs and became famous for its location theatre, especially for the tram series that started with Storming Mont Albert By Tram in 1982. In 1985 Theatre Works found a home in the heritage-listed Parish Hall, part of the historic Church Square complex in St Kilda. In its first decade, Theatre Works produced more than 30 original plays. In the 1990’s transitioned from a cooperative to a fully-fledged theatre company - Excerpt from website.
