Combined Schools and Community Musical

When it comes to events in the Gladstone Region, we’re at the heart of the action! 

Our annual GECC theatre project is always a calendar highlight for the community. Each year, we alternate between a combined schools musical or a community musical. Our beautiful theatre is equipped with the best lighting and sound so prepare to be dazzled by our full-scale productions - and of course, our amazing local talent.  

No, you’re not on Broadway, you’re in Gladstone, baby!

Our musical productions combine community and creativity, with many talented individuals working to bring our musicals to life.
