The long list spans from classic plays to modern musicals.
Newspaper clippings documenting its long 50-year history are available at Horsham Historical Society.
The Horsham Arts Council formed in January 1966.
The council was an amalgamation of Horsham’s dramatic society, theatre group, theatre drama committee, arts council and arts festival committee.
Council president Simon Dandy said the arts council’s first show after the amalgamation was The Gondoliers.
He said the group has gone from strength to strength ever since.
“You don’t last 50 years by being mediocre,” he said.
“We’ve got a good audience base, good membership and in the last five or six years we’ve been getting recognition around Victoria.”
