Hall Stories

Join us for a unique, heart-warming and hilarious gala performance celebrating 30 years of the Frankston Arts Centre.

Every hall has a story to tell, and celebrated performer Damian Callinan will bring the stories of Frankston Arts Centre to life in this specially-curated show.

Using his skills as a comedian, actor and storyteller, he’ll pull back the curtain on his own tour stories to examine the quirks, traditions and characters of rural Australian halls and meeting places.

With specific focus on the history and characters of the Frankston Arts Centre, Damian will deliver a hilarious show and later deliver a podcast to document our much-loved venue’s story.  

“Hall Stories helps to bring a community together to share their story and the story of their families growing up around these central community spaces.” - Matt Schroeders, Riverlinks Manager

Presented by: Frankston Arts Centre and Damian Callinan as part of the 2025 FAC Season
