There are a number of amateur groups in Sydney but I doubt that many of them do the "fun" stuff weekly. It also depends where you are and how far you want to travel. When I was in Sydney I was part of the Chester Street Theatre Group in Epping. Try the yellow pages - they have a listing ot theatres.

The Sydney Amateur scene just doesn't compare to Perth and Melbourne - shame, when there are so many people there! (mostly out of work professionals!!).
From my experience, it's hard to crack it there. There are groups around - it's just a matter of finding them, then doing lots of auditions.
Good luck!
(Best solution is to move to Perth or Melbourne - terrific groups and top quality shows).

You think there are out of work professionals in Sydney? Why do you think the "non-professional" scene in Perth is so strong?

From my brief time in Sydney i'd second this. As Gill has suggested in another thread, persistance and a measure of luck often appear more significant than any amount of talent, skill or experience.
But that's really the same wherever you are. I think when there is an active network supporting the local industry (such as in Perth and Melbourne), less persistance and luck may be required and the last three attributes have a more and better opportunities to shine through.
Cheers
