A community group in Yass hopes to save the town’s Liberty Theatre by purchasing the iconic building through a cooperative.
The Friends of the Liberty Theatre group proposes to purchase and restore the 700-seat Art Deco theatre through philanthropic funding.
“It could be used by the community as a cinema, using the drop-down screen and digital projection; for live theatre with Yass Repertory and travelling theatre groups; to educate students on stage lighting and sound production; fashion parades; book and wine launches, among many other things,” said group member Bimbi Turner.
