Dundas Little Theatre

Bringing theatre to life since 1960

Get Involved

As an amateur theatre company, we rely on members of the community coming together to make our productions a reality. You can be part of the magic. There are lots of different ways to get involved.

You can contribute your time and talent by auditioning, volunteering backstage, or helping the production team. But you can also become a member, subscribe to our newsletter, or — most importantly — come see a show!

No matter how you choose to get involved, we appreciate your support!


Thank You

Dundas Little Theatre is very grateful to the City of Hamilton for two grants we received this past year: The City Enrichment Fund and the Ward 13 Community grant. Both helped with the start-up of our youth program.
