Victorian premier Daniel Andrews announced further easing of restrictions would take effect from 11.59pm on June 21 including cinemas, concert venues, theatres and auditoriums will also be able to open with up to 50 people per space.

The number of people allowed in community spaces, restaurants, pubs galleries, museums and amusement parks will also increase to 50 people per space.

Bendigo Theatre Company president Abe Watson welcomed the announcement but said the best-case scenario would be companies performing for audiences in September.

BTC has postponed most of its 2020 season but is hoping to present legal drama Beyond Reasonable Doubt at the end of the year and Tribe Youth Theatre's production of Cats in September.

"The other reality is we have to maintain the density regulations (of maintaining four square metres per person)," Mr Watson said. "The four square metre rule makes it problematic to put a show on. We will look at what's viable."

Apollo Productions chair Fiona Beckwith-Elmi said the company had been in recess during the COVID-19 pandemic and wouldn't return until later in the year.

"Our company would like to return to rehearsals this year," she said. "This is important for our choir's maintenance and development and... will re-connect our choristers with the pleasures and benefits that a music ensemble can provide.

"(We are) planning to present our annual Christmas recital. Our current focus would be to start rehearsals, potentially in September. In this COVID-19 environment, singing in a group can be a high risk activity, so (extra) safety measures (are needed)."

Ms Beckwith-Elmi said to see audiences return, more restrictions would have to be lifted.

"Lifting the non-essential gathering ban of more than 500 people (would help)," she said. "However, we'd be keen to perform to minimum of 50 people."

Mr Watson said community theatre groups, unlike professional companies, were not losing money during while being closed.

"We're lucky. Community groups are lucky to have low overheads and don't pay wages," he said. "It's frustrating to not put shows on but it will be okay."
