That's some spin

Surprised to see Leeton's Roxy on the front page of The Guardian today 

Even more surprised that it will host 76,000 local residents -- since there was uproar in the community that the venue had reduced capacity during renovations that cost around $12 million. 

However, the article details the Theatre is ONE "of 36 regional venues where the NSW government expects more than 76,000 local residents will see 10 travelling productions booked over the next 12 months, after the allocation of $700,000 from the Regional Arts Touring funding program." 

This article seems like an attempt to address criticism of the shocking shortfall in funding for essential organisations across NSW, such as 20% of the Regional Arts Boards who missed out in the recent four-year funding round.
