Burdekin Shire Council is pleased to announce that refurbishment works at the Burdekin Theatre have now been completed, with the venue officially back in operation.
The recently completed upgrades included a full refurbishment of the theatre stage and a complete upgrade of the dressing rooms, delivering modern, functional backstage facilities for performers and production crews.
Both the stage and dressing rooms were original to the theatre and had not been refurbished since the venue was constructed in 1982, making these improvements a significant milestone for the facility.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the completion of the works marked an exciting new chapter for the Burdekin Theatre.
“These upgrades ensure the Burdekin Theatre can continue to support local performers and visiting productions for many years to come,” Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said.
“With modernised backstage facilities and a newly refurbished stage, performers will benefit from a safer, more functional environment that reflects the high standard of talent we see in our community.”
The Burdekin Junior Eisteddfod, which commenced on Tuesday 5 May, will be the first major event to utilise the upgraded facilities, with hundreds of local and visiting competitors taking to the stage in the coming weeks.
Council is proud to support the strong performing arts culture in the Burdekin and looks forward to seeing the refreshed theatre continue to host a wide range of performances, events and community activities.
