It's a Jam-Pacc'd Year Ahead!

2022 was quite the year for Cessnock Performing Arts Centre (CPAC), with a record number of sell-out shows and the opportunity to finally present all of the performances postponed thanks to the pandemic.

2023 looks set to be a similar bumper year for the Hunter Valley venue with the opening of a new purpose-built gallery and artist workshop spaces, and the official launch of their exciting new name: PACC (Performance Arts Culture Cessnock)

PACC’s 2023 Season: Act One has officially launched and is jam-packed with infinite theatrical talent and explosions of dance and humour. The season kicks off with the return of Soft Tread Productions and their new show,

The Wharf Review: Looking for Albanese, starring actor, writer and director Jonathan Biggins (best known for The Wharf Revue and, most recently, his one-man show The Gospel According to Paul).

Things get a little stinky in April thanks to CDP Kids and their production of the hit show Mr Stink, a play by Maryam Master based on the book by David Walliams. Wild Thing in May celebrates friendship with a thought-provoking story for our times - funny and poignant, equal parts comedy and tragedy.

Back by popular demand, the Victorian State Ballet is set to share the enchanting and much-loved tale for all ages Beauty & The Beast, while June sees perennial favourites Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow roll into town with a whole lot of laughs.

As always, there’s a feast of tribute bands for music lovers looking to relive the golden days of rock and pop – the Robertson Brothers, the Australian Bee Gees Show and Bohemian Rhapsody, to name but a few.

PACC is situated on the corner of Vincent Street and Aberdare Road Cessnock. For a complete list of what’s on at the venue, visit their website at www.mypacc.com.au.
