DREAM BIG AT DUBBO REGIONAL THEATRE
Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre is gearing up to host some top-notch events during September under the DREAM Festival banner.
Marcia Hines, Andy Nelson and Friends and Sam Johnson, along with local support acts Millie Mills and Sarah Drake, are sure to draw the crowds to the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Wellington Civic Centre during the month.
“We are excited to present a high calibre and diverse range of entertainment for this year’s DREAM Festival. With a line-up of talent this dreamy, you will want to attend every event in the month-long festival program, and we don’t blame you,” Dubbo Regional Council Manager of Regional Events Linda Christof said.
Marcia Hines – Still Shining kicks off all things Dream with her shows on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 September at 7.30pm.
The beloved musical treasure has a career spanning five amazing decades and is spending the second half of this year touring regional cities and towns across the country.
Accompanied by her musicians and production crew, each performance will be a celebration of the extraordinary output of this legendary Australian, encapsulating her extraordinary vocal range and recording career.

Next on the list is the MAAS Group Holdings sponsored Andy Nelson and Friends at the Wellington Civic Centre on Saturday 9 September from 7.30pm.
It was 2017 when Andy Nelson arrived on the live music scene with a rustic Americana/Folk style, and it didn’t take long before the troubadour decided he would enter the realm of songwriting. Since then, he has never looked back. His passionate performances are delightfully infectious and rapidly becoming a highlight for nationwide audiences.
Supported by proud Wiradjuri woman and Wellington local, Millie Mills was named SOMAD’s 2021 up-and- coming Original Artist of the Year.
With cabaret seating and tables of eight, patrons are encouraged to bring or pre-order a grazing box, and the bar will be open throughout the night. Bus travel from Dubbo to Wellington and return makes for a relaxing evening.
The third show on the calendar for the month exposes scandalous showbiz yarns, unbelievable personal anecdotes, and tales about the quest for the ghost of a lost poet.
An Evening with Samuel Johnson, presented by Boyce, will be held on Thursday 21 September from 7.30pm.
Delve into the brutally honest depths of how he and the world’s most annoying sister decided to stare down mortality and strive for something much bigger than themselves.
Why not share Sam's DREAM?
You can also start your evening early with pre-show entertainment from 6.30pm with local singer Sarah Drake adding a touch of magic to the evening with live entertainment while you enjoy a drink and the stunning views of the park.
