For over 150 years, The University of Melbourne has served Victorian, Australian and wider communities through research, education, cultural activities, scientific and artistic developments, and by promoting informed intellectual discourse and political debate.

Since 1953 one of the University's contributions to the cultural life of the community has taken the vivid and tangible form of a theatre company Melbourne Theatre Company.

The University's commitment to the Company has been a vital factor in MTCs continued growth and to the success it currently enjoys. Melbourne Theatre Company is proud and pleased to be a Department of the University of Melbourne.
