“From laughter-inducing comedy to soul-stirring classics, we’ve curated a season that resonates with the essence of our community.” Our goal with SEASON 2024 is to take you on a journey; one that ignites your curiosity while ensuring enjoyment, just like the incredible new Geelong Arts Centre,” said Mr McGuinness.
The season aims to take audience members on a journey that ignites their curiosity while ensuring enjoyment, just like the incredible new arts centre. Arts lovers will have the chance to discover something new while savouring timeless classics in a celebration of diversity, harmonising the traditional with the modern.
Consisting of eight core performances and four special additions, Geelong Arts Centre’s SEASON 2024 brings together cherished theatrical masterpieces like A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, with coming-of-age dramedy, a co-commissioned world premiere contemporary work from world-renowned Geelong theatre-makers, Back to Back Theatre, music from John Foreman’s legendary Aussie Pops Orchestra, as well as mesmerising contemporary dance and circus.
