Z-PAC Theatre History
In 1964 a group of people who loved theatre formed the Hervey Drama Circle with Lyn Dahl as the leader at St. Joseph’s Parish Centre.
Since then, a large number of productions have been produced in Hervey Bay.

Commemorative Plaques
In 2014, as part of the 50 year celebration of Community Theatre in Hervey Bay, Z-PAC applied for and was successful in securing an R.S.L. grant to purchase commemorative plaques for all the shows we have done.
The task of collecting the names and details of cast and crew for these hundreds of shows has been enormous, but we have made significant progress and at present, there are over 70 plaques on display at the theatre.
However, there are gaps and above is the link to the database we have collated so far. If you have been involved in a show or have old programmes or posters that may shed more light on some of our productions, we would be grateful for your assistance.
Each show from 2014 now receives a plaque and from 2016, we are purchasing new plaques regularly to build up our historical representation on the walls at Z-PAC.
