A host of locally made productions and exhibitions will hit the road in country New South Wales over the coming months, coinciding with the opening of a restored art deco theatre cherished by its locals and the creation of two new cultural venues for regional communities.
More than $6m of state government funding has returned the Roxy theatre in the Riverina to its 1930s art deco splendour, once affectionately known as Big Red for its brilliant neon signs that lit up the night sky.
