New versions of well-known stories continue through the year with Malthouse Theatre’s The Birds, Stephen Nicolazzo’s’ adaptation of beloved coming of age novel Looking For Alibrandi, La Bohème from Opera Australia and Duck Pond, The Circa Ensemble’s take on Swan Lake.
Original productions include Sydney Dance Company’s momenta, Scenes From the Climate Era from Belvoir St Theatre and The Light Inside, Bangarra Dance Theatre’s celebration of Oceania’s First Peoples.
The 2025 season will conclude with Bell Shakespeare’s presentation of one of the world’s greatest love stories, Romeo and Juliet.
Along with the flagship Season 2025 program, GAC also launched its all-ages Family Magic program, the innovative REWIRE 2025 and the ever-popular Delightful Days and Matinees series.
GAC chief executive Rhys Holden said stories “shape our view of the world, our culture, and our community”.
“Sitting in a theatre with friends and strangers witnessing one of the oldest and most compelling forms of storytelling is an extremely profound experience,” Mr Holden said.
“This season brings powerful stories, made by Australia’s best artists and arts companies, right here to Geelong. I look forward to welcoming you into our theatres for what promises to be another extraordinary year of remarkable stories and extraordinary art.”
