The campaign to revive the Victoria Theatre stepped up significantly when an extraordinary group, the Founding Ambassadors, committed their support. The Founding Ambassadors are ten leaders from across the Hunter and the live performance industry who recognise the significance and importance of returning the Victoria as a working heritage theatre to the Hunter community.
An initiative of the Victoria Theatre’s Campaign Cabinet, Founding Ambassadors committed resources to take the next major strategic step in the revive the Victoria Theatre campaign.
This includes completing a new business case for a fully operational theatre, commissioning an economic impact assessment, and engaging leading advocacy firm, Premier State. Combined, these initiatives are progressing the compelling case to the highest levels of government to fund the revival of the Victoria Theatre.
A big public thank you to all of the Founding Ambassadors for their support and commitment. We look forward to profiling each Ambassador over the coming months.
In alphabetical order, the Founding Ambassadors are:
Peter Evans & Associates Solicitors
Richard Owens Family
Schwarzler Nicholson Family
