2017-2018
Regional Theatre Project  - with ATYP/local artists and Bathurst youth. ATYP tutors Rachael Coopes and Guy Webster will be developing a new, contemporary theatre work based on the issues and themes that are important to young people in our community. Local Artists will be involved in the workshops, youth outcomes and the professional work.  This project is also supported by
Create NSW , Australia Council for the Arts and Regional Arts Fund.

In 2017 17 young people performed in Bathurst NSW and in Sydney as a part of this project. In 2018 we are premiering The Climbing Tree - the professional performance in the BMEC Annual Season. The Climbing Tree was a direct outcome from the Regional Theatre Project. It is a new work written by Rachael Coopes, with music by Guy Webster. Stephen Champion will direct the work.
