Theatre Works
Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:23): (604) Theatre Works received funding of $1.1 million from our Victorian government through the Victorian state government’s creative infrastructure fund. Filling a vital niche in the Australian cultural landscape, Theatre Works is fiercely loyal and outward looking, an icon on Acland Street since 1980. This monumental investment will allow Theatre Works to make some critical upgrades to their St Kilda home, ensuring that they continue to grow their legacy as an artistic home and destination for the ambitious, the new and the eminent for many years to come. Only last week I attended a special performance of Every Lovely Terrible Thing by Adam Fawcett. Can I say it was absolutely fantastic and a testament to the high-quality productions of Theatre Works. With permits acquitted and the project advancing for the upgrades to Theatre Works, the action I seek is for the Minister for Creative Industries to attend Theatre Works with me to meet with the Theatre Works crew and discuss the next steps in the advancement of the upgrades in train.
