The Glasshouse Theatre will be a part of the Glasshouse Arts, Conference, and Entertainment Centre. Constructed to be a dual-purpose building, the Glasshouse will contain not only the 606-seat theatre and concert hall, but also studio and rehearsal space, a three level regional gallery, heritage displays from the 1820s era, conference areas, meeting rooms, and a café/bar combination. There will also be an outdoor forecourt. Needless to say, the Glasshouse is going to be a good-sized facility! It is scheduled for total completion in 2009.
Port Macquarie residents are excited about this new venue, and have been for some time now. Since the area is already a vital and popular tourist attraction with its sparkling coastline and other geographical features plus a wide variety of recreational, sporting and other cultural activities, they know that it will generate even more tourism as words spreads about the wonderful schedule of entertainment that is being planned for the future. People of all ages, from young to young at heart can take advantage of this marvelous attraction.
The Spring 2008 season has been planned with careful addition to detail and much thought as to what entertainment would be best for the opening season. It was with much disappointment that the Administrator of the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council made an announcement that the Spring season would not be taking place. He cited bad weather and circumstances beyond the Council's control as the reasons why the construction of the building would not be finished in time for the planned official opening. Many theatre companies had already been booked for the season, and negotiations took place with the various groups almost at once in order to attempt to reschedule them for the proposed new opening in January 2009.
There has been some talk of rescheduling the performances to take place in other venues so that the entertainment factor is not totally lost. Many of the scheduled performances at the Glasshouse had sold out very quickly, 36 hours after they were advertised, so there is no doubt that another venue could do the same with a popular production. Those who had already purchased show and season tickets were contacted regarding a refund, credit, and any revised dates for the show they wanted to attend.
When the Glasshouse is finally completed, it is going to be a showplace indeed. The theatre section is being specifically designed in order to insure the best quality experience possible for the patrons. The lighting and acoustics are technically superior so as to be certain that everyone present can both see and hear what is happening on stage. Even the seating will be designed so that it is tiered.
This way, no one will have their view blocked by someone else's shoulders and head. Full disability and wheelchair access features will be in place for the disabled. Climate control settings will make sure that the venue is at a comfortable temperature, depending on the outside weather.
