About Local Stages

In 2007 Local Stages was funded as a three-year pilot project by the Theatre Board of the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts NSW and Bathurst Regional Council (BRC). Sixteen years later Local Stages has firmly established itself as a vital regional program and funding is obtained from a range of sources with core funding continuing from Arts NSW and BRC.

Local Stages has developed a proud local, regional and national reputation as an incubator of new work and is often cited as an example of regional best practice. It is now part of the heart of BMEC and is intertwined with every element of BMEC performing arts activity.

The Man in the Park Monologue Writing Competition

Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (BMEC) is planning on creating a new touring theatre production of a small series of monologues under the title The Man in The Park. We are looking for regional playwrights to script a monologue somewhere between 5-10 minutes in length. The monologue is to be performed by only one actor.
