Over the next few weeks you might notice ads popping up on radio, tv and in print reminding you that now's the time to 'Make it o the MEC.

After last year was so devastating to the arts and entertainment industry, we were determined to ensure that we'd make up for lost time, and bring you a packed calendar of events that had something for everyone.

We've just released our digital June to December season brochure and it's overflowing with fabulous shows handpicked to make you feel great! You can go online to theMEC.com.au to check out a cornucopia of entertainment with comedy, musical theatre, classic Oz rock, gripping drama, children's entertainment, Celtic magic and much more.

You'll find plenty to love, especially when you can save money on shows by using your Dine and Discover vouchers.

If you've never been to the MEC then now is the perfect opportunity to dip a toe in and find out why our patrons keep returning. With reviews like: "Excellent staff and volunteers providing an exceptional theatre experience" from patrons, we take pride in our commitment to quality service.

Care is taken to select a broad range of shows that will appeal to many tastes and ages, so that we are providing a true cultural service to the entertainment lovers of the MidCoast region.
