A showcase of comedy, cabaret and music at RPAC’s Stage Door Sessions

Journey behind the curtain at Redland Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) during three weeks of exciting performances starting in late January.

The Concert Hall Stage will be transformed into an intimate and sophisticated club setting, where you can choose a front row table for an up-close performance experience or take in all the action from the tiered theatre seating.

Guests will also enjoy entering the venue like a star through the stage door at the rear of the building while redevelopment work is underway on the RPAC forecourt and front entrance of the premier entertainment venue.

Redland City Mayor Jos Mitchell said that from 31 January, the RPAC Concert Hall stage will transform into an intimate venue for a series of performances called the Stage Door Sessions.

“It will be a wonderful behind-the-scenes experience for guests to enter through the iconic stage door like performers do,” the Mayor said.

“They will be able to glimpse some of the backstage world and then enjoy these up-close and personal performances.

“With a fantastic range of shows to entertain and enthral, it’s the perfect way to kick off your 2025 in style.”
