Spark Theatre has only just begun, and is currently run by a volunteer management committee.
We’re a passionate team with a diverse range of creative, organisational and practical skills, and a broad scope of experience between us.
We look forward to expanding our roles (and our team!) as our organisation grows.
Management Committee
Beth Lamont
Founder / Chair
Beth is an entertainment producer in Ballarat and has created and managed many shows and events locally, including BallaRatCat Comedy – a monthly comedy room that has been running since 2013.
She has worked in entertainment and venue management for over 20 years and in over 40 different venues around the world, including major stadiums, grand theatres, small black boxes, festival rooms, haunted caverns and a heck of a lot of comedy clubs.
Building a new, independent venue has always been the dream, so the time has come to bring Spark Theatre to life, with this incredible team. The future is bright!
