Our carefully curated program is designed to delight ages 2 to 102 with circus and symphony, film festivals and First Nations, big bands and beloved books, living legends, crazy Kiwis, comedy and contemporary dance, Phantoms and puppets, Taiko drumming and Shakespeare in the garden. I am delighted to present to two of Australia’s major performing arts companies – Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Australian Dance Theatre in our first season, but equally proud to showcase the excellence of regional theatre – including internationally acclaimed independent artists from our own shire. Featured local artists such Clockfire Theatre, Bonnie Curtis Projects and Casablanca Orchestra could hold their own anywhere.

Every child should have the opportunity to experience the magic of live performance, and we have selected an exquisite program for children and young people, designed to ignite curiosity and inspire a lifelong love for creativity and the theatre. With workshops, drama classes and work experience opportunities, we hope the PAC will help provide our young people with pathways to creative careers.
