Over 52 pages with numerous show photos, it lists every show performed in the 50 years AMTC has been in business, and many of the people who have contributed (alas not all). There are anecdotes from earlier members and explanatory text about the workings of AMTC

It also details how AMTC has grown from a proactive group of Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiasts performing at a gymnasium at HMAS Albatross in 1975 to a well respected theatre company regularly performing at a professional venue, the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre.
