"That's what this campaign is really all about - raising funds to make theatres fantastic with the best facilities and giving people opportunities to think of big ticket items that we can raise funds for to help the community and local performing arts b among the best in Australia."

Ms Stanford said the end of financial year time was encouraging to many potential philanthropists.

"It gives people a chance to donate by the end of the financial year, which is advantageous to a lot of people, especially with our deductible gift recipient status," she said.

"We are really encouraging people to get on board. It doesn't matter how much or how little you can give.

"The fact we can have a large supporter base to keep in touch with is wonderful to help support local performing arts."

Ms Stanford said performing arts in Bendigo was seeing a strong return after two pandemic-affected years.

"The Bendigo Symphony Orchestra sold out The Capital for first time ever, which was just amazing," she said.

"At the ACA Showcase at Bendigo South East College the other night, seeing the joy on the faces of kids performing on stage was amazing."
