THE City of Whittlesea is thrilled to announce the return of the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre (PRACC) Performance Program in 2026. This program brings people together to share experiences, create lasting memories and celebrate community stories through arts and culture.
Following the huge success of the first program in 2025, the 2026 season offers a larger program with more performances. A wide range of shows is planned across different styles, including music, comedy, children’s theatre, visual art, workshops and dance, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Tickets for the 2026 PRACC Performance Program are now available. Audiences can enjoy talents of some of Australia’s favourite singers including Bobby Fox and Rhonda Burchmore. Fill yourself with laughter with some great comedy nights featuring household names and talented new comedians. Children will be entertained as they follow the adventures of wallabies, echidnas and farmyard animals. The Victorian State Ballet will follow up their sell out 2025 performance with their dazzling interpretation of the beloved fairytale, Beauty and the Beast.
The new program of workshops encourages everyone to be creative, no matter their age. Each school holidays, PRACC has workshops for young people to get their hands dirty, learn new performance skills and express themselves, and also have The Australian Ballet visiting to run ballet classes for older people.
The program also includes two nights of extraordinary musical performances through the Next Verse program, showcasing talented community artists. Crescendo Screen Classics offers the perfect outing for lovers of classical music and the magic of film.
