Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said Laycock Street Community Theatre is where the community comes together to experience the magic of live performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLaycock is more than a theatre, it celebrates our local talent and helps build the strong sense of community that makes the Central Coast such a great place to live,\u201d Mayor McKinna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe mix of performances, educational programs and collaborative initiatives at Laycock help create a lively cultural space for our region. With the 2026 season shaping up to be one of its best yet, it\u2019s truly a must-see for our community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laycock continues to foster collaboration by hosting Curtain Bounce\u2019s \u2018The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019 and supporting new Gosford Musical Society shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
