What has been your favourite show to come to The Art House?
OMG I have so many - but I think In The Heights. It was a different collaboration for us working with Blue Saint Productions and the Sydney Opera House, and seeing a show come alive on our stage and then how it can transfer to a much larger stage (The Sydney Opera House). It was a great feeling knowing that the Central Coast audiences got to see it first.
