The theatre has what is called a Bio Box from where sound, lights and projection are operated. It sits above the audience at the back of the auditorium. Access to the Bio Box is via a ladder next to the last row of audience seating. A rear entrance to the Bio Box will reduce the risk of falling from the ladder and comply with OH&S issues identified by committee. The project will provide a safe means of accessing the Bio Box in the Carolyn Theatre enabling all member volunteers to assist with lighting and sound during theatre productions.

Safe access to the Bio Box will enable all volunteers to operate the lighting, and sound. The Carolyn Theatre in Cororooke has provided a great space for community entertainment for over 8 years. With theatre productions by local Colac Players and Ants Pantz as well as touring national and international artists providing great entertainment. Our community is very fortunate to enjoy the luxury of quality theatre in its small rural town. Red Rock Regional Theatre and Gallery plan to continue providing the community with a quality arts space for years to come in a safe environment for patrons and volunteers.

A wonderful gallery and theatre that features events for the enjoyment of the local and wider community. The alterations to the bio box will improve the safety of the volunteers who assist at those events.

A beautiful space well used by the local community and others from far and wide. It would never have come to "life" without the vision, passion and enthusiasm of community members and dedicated volunteers. They deserve to be well supported for their continued efforts.

I have attended many events at this theatre and the bio box is definitely in need of an upgrade. This theatre is a great asset for the Colac and district region and an upgrade will ensure it is operational for many years to come.

This theatre and art gallery brings so much more life into our regional community. Not only does it hold exciting shows and exhibitions, it’s free or affordable to use, and it’s operated by locals. Any grants would be welcomed and well used.
