Take a look behind the curtainAs the curtain prepares to fall on the Cairns Civic Theatre, residents are invited to be part of the building’s final chapter with a one-off,
free public event. Members of the public will be welcomed backstage to tour a full-scale production, prior to Phantom of the Opera’s closing night this Saturday 30 January. This will be the theatre’s last hurrah, as plans progress for the all-new Cairns Performing Arts Centre to be built on the site. Cairns Regional Council, in conjunction with the Cairns Choral Society, will throw open the doors to the Civic Theatre from 10am to 1pm, showcasing the inner workings of the most complex amateur show ever performed at the theatre. Along with up-close access to props, costumes and sets, guests will be able to interact with cast members, ushers, theatre
professionals and performers.
