CLOC Musical Theatre
Description
CLOC Musical Theatre is one of Victoria's largest and most successful non-professional music theatre companies. Established in 1964, CLOC has developed from church halls and school stages to it's current performing venue - Monash University's 500 seat Alexander Theatre with its fly tower, orchestra pit, computerised stage lighting and quality audio system.
Implicit in these objectives is the desire to create and present the highest quality non professional music theatre, while at the same time ensuring the long term economic viability of CLOC Musical Theatre Inc.
Since its inception, CLOC has staged over eighty productions (see list of past productions), ranging from operettas such as Die Fledermaus and The Merry Widow to contemporary works like Evita, Chess and Les Miserables. Moreover, the company has presented several firsts in Melbourne non-professional theatre. In 1983 CLOC premiered Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd – the first professional or non-professional production in Australia. Other non- professional premieres followed: Annie (1985), 1776 (1988), Sunday in the Park with George (1992), Song and Dance (1997), Singin' in the Rain (1998), Gigi (2003) and Steel Pier (2005).
