The West Gippsland Arts Centre (WGAC) in Warragul has been recognised by the RACV as one of the top eight regional theatres in Victoria.
The RACV, in a recent survey of top regional theatres, named the Arts Centre at number seven alongside world class Victorian theatres including Her Majesty’s Ballarat, Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo and the Geelong Arts Centre.
The Arts Centre underwent a major $13.4 million redevelopment project in 2017 that saw the facility refurbished and expanded to better serve the needs of the local creative community.
“It comes as no surprise to us that the West Gippsland Arts Centre has been recognised as one of the best regional theatres in Victoria,” said Baw Baw Shire Council Mayor, Michael Leaney.
“From its high-quality function spaces to its long list of exciting shows and performances – the Arts Centre holds up to its reputation as the region’s leading performing arts and cultural space.
“We look forward to seeing the line-up of shows and entertainment set to hit the stage in the coming year. It’s sure to pack in the crowds, from Baw Baw and beyond.”
