Comedy, dance, drama, and a whole lot more is set to hit the stage at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre’s (DRTCC) upcoming 2025 Season, with 20 touring shows guaranteed to entertain patrons right across Western NSW.
The 2025 Season, themed A Million Reasons, was launched on Sunday 24 November and showcased next year’s lineup, which includes popular comedy shows such as Brown Comedy, Are You Pulling My Leg?, and The Wharf Revue As We Know It: The End of the Wharf As We Know It, and mesmerising dance productions, including Australian Dance Theatre’s Marrow, which comes off the back of their highly praised Tracker production in 2024.
Audiences will also see the likes of Bell Shakespeare returning with the classic Romeo & Juliet as well as a great family lineup with Room on the Broom and The Very Hungry Caterpillar produced by CDP kids. Fans of drama will be treated to The Trojan War, The Queens Nanny, and God of Carnage.
The 2025 Season will conclude with an exquisite production of Duckpond by Circa, a contemporary physical theatre adaptation of the ugly duckling story.
Performing Arts and Venues Coordinator Tiffany Rowland said the 2025 Season will deliver an exciting and eclectic mix, combining age old classics with contemporary masterpieces.
“Our 2025 Season Launch, proudly sponsored by Kings Hall Jewellers, gives you a million reasons for a night out solo or with friends and family. We have comedy, dance, drama, kid’s performances, and more – there’s lots of variety and something for everyone.”
“The Season launch featured wonderful performances from dancers Solanki and Ashwini (ORISCON), Melanie Trapman with dancers from Orana Dance Centre, guest speaker Sara Richardson from Arts on Tour, and local musicians to promote some of the show offerings in 2025,” Ms Rowland said.
