Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has announced the grant under round three of the government’s Stronger Communities Program.
He said the funding would cover the cost of extending the theatre company’s shed.
“Constructed in 1980 the original shed no longer meets current needs for storage, construction and rehearsing,” Mr Coulton said.
“The rear wall will be partially removed to allow an entrance into an attached second facility enabling the various personnel of a theatre production team to operate in safe workplaces away from the general storage areas.
“It will build on the successful reputation as a community theatre group, to continue to deliver quality productions and to provide worthwhile experiences for members of the community who wish to participate in theatre.”
Incorporated not-for-profit and local government organisations can apply for grants under the program.
