After resuming Covid-safe performances last weekend with the Sydney Theatre Company's 'Wharf Revue', the Civic Theatre is off and running with its 2021 season program.
Orange City Council's Performing Arts and Venues Manager, Michelle Pearce said the program for 2021 was ever evolving, adding that: "at the moment it's a moveable feast".
"As the theatre world begins to return to 'normal' we are constantly being offered new shows," she said.
"So that we can deliver the best possible program we will be updating our program in four-monthly blocks rather than producing a subscription booklet."
"We're also moving to social media as our main vehicle for advertising and plan to develop behind the scenes conversations with directors, producers and actors for many of our shows and encourage the community to follow us on Facebook".
Confirmed programs include:
- Country music icon John Williamson's Winding Back Tour. February 12.
- Spirit- A Retrospective - by Bangarra Dance Theatre - Australia's leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts company. February 17.
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar - based on one of the most-read and famous children's books of all time. March 2.
