| Abstract/Description |
As any local will happily tell you, the regional city of Launceston is passionate about theatre. For its size, with a population of roughly 80,000, the city boasts a remarkable appetite for performance - exemplified by 10,090 patrons over the three-week season of Strictly Ballroom, staged by local community company, Encore Theatre, in 2019. Moreover, this passion for theatre is part of a long and proud tradition, from the Muffs Dramatic Club, founded in 1889, and ongoing for many active amateur theatre companies, including the Launceston Players, founded in 1922. |
