Popular Theatre Troupe
The Popular Theatre Troupe was an agit-prop ensemble〔"The Popular Theatre Troupe's output was forged in the great traditions of leftist agitational performance: popular, didactic, aggressive." Makeham, Paul B. (1997) (of ) Capelin, S. (ed). Challenging the Centre: Two Decades of Political Theatre. Theatre Research International 22(3):pp. 272-273. Accessed from http://eprints.qut.edu.au Copyright 1997 Oxford University Press〕 formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1974 as part of a radical movement against Premier Joh Bjelke Petersen's conservative Queensland's government of the day. The troup toured Australia with a total of 25 original shows between 1974 and 1983. The key players in the ensemble organised ten large community events and were behind many community arts projects.〔Challenging the Centre: Two Decades of Political Theatre. Edited by Steve Capelin.

==Beginnings==
The Popular Theatre Troupe had its genesis in the meetings Richard Fotheringham called during 1973 to discuss options for the planned 'fringe theatre' for Queensland's first 'Festival of the Arts' directed by Lesley Gotto. Inspirations and influences included Oh! What a Lovely War and The Legend of King O'Malley. A leader of alternative theatre in Britain, Albert Hunt, was brought out by the University of Queensland's English Department to mentor the group. Their first production was Star Trick, a satire lampooning the Star Trek television series focussing on the absurdity of local Queensland politics interspersed with ironically sung old popular songs.〔Capelin, Steve. 1995, Challenging the centre : two decades of political theatre : the work of the Popular Theatre Troupe, Order By Numbers, and Street Arts Community Theatre Company ; edited by Steve Capelin Playlab Press, Brisbane〕
Geoffrey Milne in ''Theatre Australia (un)limited: Australian theatre since the 1950s'' suggests precursors to the Popular Theatre Troupe's type of political theatre included Peter Oysten at Victoria College of the Arts, the San Francisco Mime Troupe and run-of-the-mill communist theatre featured at worker's clubs.〔Milne, Geoffrey, Theatre Australia (un)limited: Australian theatre since the 1950s, Rodopi, 2004 ISBN 90-420-0930-6 〕
''The White Man's Mission'' (1975) by Richard Fotheringham and Albert Hunt stands out as one of the troupe's strongest scripts. It is reproduced in full in one of the few published texts on Brisbane's political theatre, "Challenging the centre" (1995) edited by Steve Capelin, where it takes up 36 pages about Australian racism, slavery and exploitation. 〔Riley, Dave 1996, The politics of performance, Green Left Weekly http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/13497y |〕 It was invited to the Adelaide Festival in 1976.
