Before Wicked, Stephen Schwartz burst onto the music theatre scene with Godspell, introducing his ability to discover new meaning in established narratives.

Only one performance at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, with all profits going towards the Central Tablelands and Blue Mountains Community Legal Centre.
In a world of increasing polarisation, social inequality and uncertainty, Godspell, with its themes of compassion and generosity, is a humorous and lively exploration of the value of community and connection.

The Bathurst and surrounding community are warmly invited to come together for a relaxed and welcoming day of conversation with NSW integrity agencies that help keep government accountable.
Join us for:
10am – Welcome to country
1pm – Free BBQ
Meet friendly staff from key independent oversight bodies, and have a yarn about what integrity, transparency and fairness mean to you and your community. This is an opportunity to ask questions, share your perspectives, and connect directly with the agencies that work to strengthen trust in public institutions across NSW.
Importantly, integrity across government does not happen in isolation. It relies on people – on communities -speaking up. We depend on members of the public to raise concerns, share information and bring issues forward so they can be examined properly and addressed. Your voice matters.
Who you’ll meet:
• NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) – Investigates and exposes serious corruption in the NSW public sector and works to prevent corruption through education and advice.
• Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) – Oversees and reviews how complaints about NSW Police and the NSW Crime Commission are handled, and independently monitors critical incident investigations.
• NSW Ombudsman – Handles complaints about NSW government agencies and certain community services to ensure people are treated fairly and lawfully. The Ombudsman also administers the Public Interest Disclosures (PID) framework, which helps protect whistleblowers who report serious wrongdoing from reprisal.
• Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) – Deals with complaints about health services and providers in NSW, helping to protect public health and safety.
Come along, grab a bite to eat, and sit down for a yarn. We are here to listen, to share information, and to work alongside community to strengthen accountability across NSW.

“Political satire at its finest. A rollicking ride through Covid and the ICAC inquiry.”

Workshop // Experimental Mark Making with Rebecca Sciroli
2026-02-21 10:30 - 12:30 | Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, 70-78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, 2795
Saturday 21 February, 10:30am-12:30pm
$10 members, $15 non-members, ALL AGES, no experience required, Bookings essential
Join Rebecca Sciroli, a We Are Studios artist, for an immersive and playful workshop that invites you to refresh your relationship with artmaking. This experimental session encourages artists to reconnect with joy, curiosity and process through interactive exploration. Working with recycled, found and everyday materials, participants will invent their own drawing and painting tools and experiment with mark making using materials including paint, ink, charcoal and pastel. This relaxed and supportive workshop is ideal for artists, art lovers and anyone interested in experimentation, play and discovering new techniques to add to their creative toolbox.
This workshop is supported by We Are Studios.
About the Artist
Rebecca (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist, facilitator and advocate. She works primarily in sculpture and installation, wearables, performance, painting and drawing. Rebecca’s work often touches on memory and emotional connection through sensory stimuli, femininity, sensuality and empowering feminist work. The fine balance of fragility and resilience is explored through Rebecca’s conceptual and performative practice, expressed through a sensory connection of energy and touch. Rebecca uses improvised experimental drawing devices (IEDD) for mark making that records her disabled body and how it can move. Rebecca has an ongoing practice of producing self-portraits throughout her recovery from a D.V. assault, and life in a disabled body. Rebecca is an artist and board member at We Are Studios.
About the Exhibition
We Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance
Acts of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others, families, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us. Some artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability, mental health, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined, but enacted through the choices we make, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another.
Through these works, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us.
We Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.
Artists: Aili Brenton, Virginia Bucknell, Ria Cirera-Cruz, Taylah Devlin, Holly-lee Dickson, Georgina Evans, Nina Frankie, Leanne Larwood, Timothy W. Martin, Grazia Napoletano, Adrienne Proud, Rebecca Sciroli, Kiri Smith, Jane Thatcher, Miah Tito-Barratt, Jordan Valageorgiou, Eden Young.
Curated by We Are Studios Collective.
The project is supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.

The Best of the Bee Gees Show returns to BMEC to honour the 1979 “Greatest” album, with a set list of iconic disco, ballads and songs written by the Bee Gees for other legends.

This will be the 28th year playing Barry Gibb for Evan Webster who is also the creator, producer and coordinator of the Best of the Bee Gees. Most weekends, Evan appreciates the time on tour with his ‘on the road family’ sharing stories and performing to new audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Manila, Spain, Portugal, the UK and global cruise ships including “The World” luxury liner.

Greg Wain’s European career highlights include performing at the Royal Albert Hall, international touring with London’s acclaimed vocal group Shout, operatic productions with Pro Musica Chorus of London, sharing the stage with Jose Carreras in Carmen, the Jools Holland Big Band, West End Starlight Express and since 2017, playing Maurice with the Best of the Bee Gees in Australia.

Russell Davey has toured New Caledonia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Canada, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand and the UK with multiple tribute shows. He joined the Best of the Bee Gees in 2013 and has shared the stage at sea with Suzie Quatro, Tony Hadley, Belinda Carlisle, Go West and others.

This troupe of seasoned musicians received standing ovations during their 25th anniversary in 2023/24, national concerts this year and most recently, 11 shows throughout New Zealand’s North Island.

It would be a Tragedy to miss the Best of the Bee Gees’ sensational, retrospective show “Greatest”!
