If elected in May, the Liberal Party has promised a $1.5 million upgrade to the Glen Street Theatre in Belrose.
Glen Street Theatre has been open for over 40 years and has hosted professional theatre, musical performances, community productions, and educational events.
As stated by the Liberal Party, the success of the Glen Street complex has always depended upon the generous support of the community; however, the council has considered substantial upgrades necessary.
Liberal candidate for Mackellar, James Brown, said Glen Street Theatre needs and deserves support to make essential upgrades to both its staging and back of house.
“The Glen Street Theatre is where our community comes together to celebrate the arts, enjoy performances and inspire future generations,” said Mr Brown.
“This commitment will ensure the theatre remains a vibrant, inclusive and accessible cultural venue for the Beaches.”
Shadow Minister for Science and the Arts, Senator Claire Chandler, praised James Brown for his commitment to the full breadth of the Northern Beaches.
“James Brown has worked tirelessly to fight for this commitment on behalf of the Northern Beaches,” Senator Chandler said.
“This commitment reflects James’ passion for the Northern Beaches and his belief in the power of the arts to enrich the lives of individuals and communities.”
