Central Coast performers are being urged to act fast, with the final days to apply for Round 2 of From Gosford With Love — a career-changing professional development program designed to launch local work onto national stages.
Delivered by FunHaus Factory in partnership with Central Coast Council, the 12-month initiative supports artists to present tour-ready work while gaining the tools, resources and industry experience needed to build sustainable creative careers.
Applications for Round 2 close this Thursday 9 April 2026, with successful applicants to be programmed across FunHaus Factory’s 2026–2027 season.
The program’s inaugural round saw an overwhelming response, attracting a large and highly competitive pool of applicants from across the region. Selected artists represented a dynamic cross-section of the Coast’s creative scene, spanning theatre, live music, comedy, cabaret, club nights and musical theatre — highlighting both the depth of local talent and the demand for pathways beyond the region.
The initiative not only supports individual artists but strengthens the region’s cultural ecosystem, building skills, confidence and visibility for locally made work while reinforcing Gosford as a growing hub for contemporary performance.
With only days remaining, artists, musicians and performers based on the Central Coast with tour-ready or near-ready work are strongly encouraged to apply.
