Amateur Dramatics 1912 - 2004

Description

Before television and easy travel, communities made much of their own entertainment.

In this context Oakridge has a particularly rich past given its modest population. Music and particularly amateur dramatics was and remains a core feature of the social landscape and owes its origins, in part, to the social concepts underpinning the arts and crafts movement and the creativity of those attracted to Oakridge in the early C20.
