Wehl Street Theatre upgrade launch

Mount Gambier Theatre Group’s Tim and Steven Rochow.

WEHL Street Theatre’s management committee has celebrated installation of upgraded seats at the historic facility.

This follows the Centre-Stage Community Theatre Committee securing $96,000 to replace the 40-year-old seats.

Committee chairman Tony Chalinor said the roll-out of the new seating was the culmination of many hours of work by the theatre’s proponents.

The new seats have been installed just in time for the theatre’s popular eisteddfod season, with speech and drama later this month and choral, vocal, music and debating to follow.
