The Potato Shed is a thriving multi-purpose performance space that connects the local community to the best in performing arts.
A joint venture between the City of Greater Geelong, Bellarine Secondary College and St Ignatius College, for the past 20 years the Potato Shed has played a crucial role in the cultural, social and educational development of the local community.
Local students use the space to hone their performance skills, and the venue is home to resident theatre company Theatre 3triple2. The company was established by the local performing arts community to support locals to write, direct, act and produce live theatre.
Some of the best touring shows in Australia head to the Shed, and upcoming shows include:
- April: Wallflowering, Desperate to Party
- May: Barbaroi, Afterbirth - A Cabaret, Chameleon
- June: I Wanna Be Yours, Winter Solstice One Act Plays, Tribute to Olivia Newton-John.
In addition to an annual calendar of community events including Spookfest, a Christmas Spectacular and the outdoor January Summer Series, there are a number of performance spaces available for hire.
Soon to undergo a long-awaited redevelopment, the Potato Shed will be renamed the Bellarine Arts Centre, acknowledging its significant contribution to the performing arts on the Bellarine.
