<p>Hellenic Theatre Inc was founded in 1949 by Chrysostomos Mantouridis (Χρυσόστομος Μαντουρίδης), a Cypriot-Greek from Cairo, Egypt who migrated to Australia and founded this community-based theatre company initially under the name Hellenic Theatrical Group (Συγκρότημα  Ελλήνων Καλλιτεχνών) which eventually became an incorporated association in 2003 under the name Hellenic Theatre Inc, a name under which is known today.</p>
