Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal is launching its annual ‘Loyal Royal’ Membership Drive again, where you can sign up for an annual membership or sponsorship from as little as $50 per year and receive discounted film tickets and early-bird access to shows.
For business owners you can become a sponsor and get your ad on the big screen!
And on top of all that you if you sign up before December 11 you will go in the running to win a host of fabulous Loyal Royal Membership Drive prizes.
The Theatre Royal has a special place in the heart of many Castlemainians, not only as one of the first Australian ‘picture palaces’ to screen silent movies in 1919 and the ‘talkies’ that followed, but also as the beating heart of the vibrant, artistic community, often the place for local fundraisers and community gatherings.
Theatre Royal owners Felicity Cripps and Tim Heath are calling out for lovers of live music, independent cinema and the arts to get behind the historic venue and become Loyal Royal member for 2024/25.
“Loyal Royals not only get discounted tickets all year through, plus access to behind-the-scenes news and events, but also provide us with the means to preserve one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the Southern Hemisphere,” Felicity said.
“We hope you will join us as we continue to make history – bringing music, culture and people together, here on Dja Dja Wurrung country.”
Tim said that for the longest continuously operating theatre (since 1854), there was a lot required to keep the heritage-listed building in good shape.
“The overheads alone are far more excessive than a regular commercial space. A strong membership base allows TR to make the improvements necessary to continue as central Victoria’s premiere venue for independent cinema and live music. But best of all your membership is helping to preserve a culturally significant venue for generations to come,” he said.
To join the Loyal Royal club, simply sign up via the TR website or directly here: www.loyalroyal.theatreroyalcastlemaine.com.au
