Celebrating 5 Years at The Vault

The Choral Society’s ‘The Vault’ is rolling out the red carpet to celebrate its fifth anniversary, a milestone for Home Hill’s local arts and entertainment scene. This special event will bring together highlights from the past five years, showcasing the unforgettable performances and community spirit that have made The Vault an iconic part of the Burdekin. For regular patrons and newcomers alike, it’s an opportunity to revisit the magic that has captivated audiences and contributed to local culture.
Located at 93 Ninth Avenue, Home Hill, The Vault will host three exclusive shows over the weekend. The celebration kicks off on Friday, 29th November, at 7.30pm, followed by a second performance on Saturday, 30th November, also at 7.30pm. The enthusiasm around this event is palpable, with the Sunday matinee on 1st December at 1.30pm already sold out! Tickets are priced at $35 per person, which includes both the show and a delightful supper served during the event.
As the anticipation builds, Robert Antoniazzi highlights how The Vault’s growth has attracted audiences from near and far, including Townsville and Bowen. “Over the last 12 months, the feedback from our patrons has been wonderful,” Robert shared. “Our numbers have increased, and people from outside the Burdekin are coming. We believe we’re doing something meaningful for the community.”
This year’s celebration comes with an exciting development: a brand-new costume storage shed that promises to enhance the quality of future productions. This shed includes a mezzanine floor, providing much-needed space to store costumes, props, and equipment.
Robert expressed his excitement about the new addition: “We had a rehearsal last night, and when I walked into our new shed, I got a shock because it’s brilliant. The builder has put in a mezzanine floor, and everyone was gobsmacked. For us, it’s a very big step—it’s our next step in our journey to entertain people in the Burdekin.”
The new storage space marks a significant milestone for The Vault, symbolising their commitment to continuous improvement and serving as a nod to the community’s unwavering support over the years. This upgrade will allow The Vault’s dedicated team to organise costumes and supplies efficiently, enabling more ambitious productions and ensuring each show is presented at its best.
