Redland Performing Arts Centre will bring live entertainment back to the stage as the centre re-opens with the easing of COVID-19 Stage 3 Restrictions.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said RPAC would make a welcome return with excellent entertainment opportunities again on offer.
"Patrons from Redlands Coast and further afield can rest assured that a comprehensive industry-specific COVID plan is now in place at RPAC," Cr Williams said.
"This has been a challenging time for the entertainment industry, so it will be great to see performers back doing to what they do best - entertaining our community.
"As COVID-19 Stage 3 Restrictions limit audience numbers, RPAC will return with a combination of live-streamed and smaller audience attended events.
Mayor Williams said the first performances would be part of a new RPAC Live concert series, delivered in partnership with Creative Arts Alliance and East Coast Originals and showcases some of the exceptional music talent of Redlands Coast.
"The series will start with a free live-streamed opening concert featuring the sounds of local First Nations artists Uncle Josh Walker, Lil Nix and Sachém on July 25.
"Subsequent concerts on August 8, 15 and 29 will also be live-streamed for free, as well as welcoming small audiences in the concert hall.
"If you are a local musician and you are looking for the opportunity to perform, then the line-up for the final two RPAC Live concerts are also still being finalised, via the RPAC website www.rpac.com.au for links to the expression of interest form.
RPAC would feature a mixture of live audience and live-stream delivery during the coming months.
Sharon Rowntree presents Dusty and the Divas, while Fat Musicals will take a satirical look at musical theatre. The Black Square Quartet offers chamber music and acrobatic prowess will be on show in By a Thread. Young children can enjoy the adventures of Wilbur the Optical Whale and The Gruffalo's Child.
"I look forward to the wonderful variety coming back to RPAC over the next few months and encourage all live performance lovers to visit the RPAC website for all the details.
"Whether you watch a live-streamed show from home or book to see one of your favourite artists live on stage, I am sure you will once-again enjoy the magic of live performances at RPAC," Cr Williams said.
