Live entertainment on the way from King Valley Arts Presents

King Valley Arts Presents is one of four arts initiatives in North East Victoria to receive grants through the latest round of the state government's Small Regional Presenters Program. The program is designed to help attract high quality artists to regional venues while building local skills and growing creative talent. King Valley Arts Presents has received $11,914 for a season of three live performances in local community halls, alternating with Film Club bi-monthly offerings. King Valley Arts Presents coordinator Suz Christison said their intention was to bring quality and diverse live theatre and music shows to the communities and venues in and around the King Valley. "We are thrilled to be bringing three shows to the King Valley community in 2026, across some of our wonderful local venues," she said. "The shows vary from a fun, family night out, to a more adult-focused comedy, then an evening of music and stories of our local community. "We love how people get together and enjoy the shows, but also the incidental conversation before and after, the connection that is created through shared experiences." The program kicks off with Scott's BMX Trick Bike Show coming up on Friday, 20 March at 7pm at the Whitfield Recreation Reserve. It promises to be a fun and engaging show with Scott’s tricks on display, while his perseverance and creativity will leave youngsters and adults alike inspired. Suz said included in the ticket price is a burger provided by the Whitfield District Primary School support community. "We love partnering with local groups, to share the excitement and broaden engagement in the shows," she said. The Film Club is continuing into Season 4, with diverse offerings on the second Tuesday of every second month. While the feature for Tuesday, 14 April is yet to be announced, it's bound to be something interesting, responding to the eclectic requests of film club members. A fun night of laughs and songs is promised in the cabaret style performance of Tinderella and the Eight Unique Uses of Tinder, at Cheshunt Hall on Friday 8 May at 7pm. With a relaxed feel created by group seating at tables, bring your own snacks, drinks and friends, or meet new friends as part of a table group formed on the night. Songs for Halls brings an evening of music to the Edi Upper Hall on Saturday, 25 July at 7pm. King Valley Arts Presents is also supporting the Myrrhee Soldiers Memorial Hall as they host a fundraising dinner with entertainment by Riff on Saturday, 29 August.
