Under the RVC banner they promote tours into Northern NSW and incubate new productions to tour out. The Regional Venue Collective launches. At 11:11am on 1/12/21 the Regional Venue Collective was formally launched at a media event at the Byron Theatre. The Regional Venue Collective is a co-operative approach to venue management between 3 venues, The Byron Theatre, The Regent Theatre in Murwillumba
h and Star Court Theatre in Lismore in the adjoining LGAs of Lismore Shire, Tweed Shire and Byron Shire have come together to host nominated shows and tours and to incubate the creation of original works to tour the region and beyond. The 3 theatres, of similar size and heritage, have united under the banner of the Regional Venue Collective for a program of tours for 2022 and beyond. Featuring mutually supportive arrangements, combined branding and promotions and a collective aim to support each other, the idea is that by working together, rather than competing, the venues create a feedback loop that benefits the industry as a whole. The RVC will tour and promote shows throughout the region and provide employment opportunities for artists, musicians, writers, technical wizards and visionaries. The RVC will also be presenting locally produced original works, creating a space to get shows up and touring. All 3 venues have embraced the collective support of each other and the potential it brings. Allira Cornell, owner of The Regent says ‘as a founding member, The Regent is excited to collaborate with the RVC, bringing outstanding performers to the Northern Rivers.” SJ Loxton and Sharon Rigby, owners of Star Court Theatre in Lismore added, ”Star Court Theatre is honoured to be working with both The Regent and Byron Theatre in bringing great shows to our region, it's a very exciting venture and we're looking forward to what the future holds.". Tanja Greulich, Venue Manager of the Byron Theatre agrees, “we're thrilled to be part of this new initiative that aims to bring exciting new and emerging talent to the region". https://www.byroncentre.com.au/whats-on
