Title	Theatre in Australia
Creator Contributors	Doc K Sternberg
Abstract/Description	Theatre in Australia was an ambitious project by writer/director/producer Doc K. Sternberg to extensively document the past, present and future (a Federal National Theatre) of dramatic art in Australia. Sternberg was passionate about the mutual dependence and reciprocity of amateur and professional theatre. "My film will show that there should be no competitive spirit between the professional and the amateur stage. The two branches should go hand in hand to produce complete theatre." First produced in 1952 for the Commonwealth of Australia by the Department of the Interior.
