Her Maj has been such a huge part of not only my upbringing but also many people over many generations. From ballet concerts as a three year old, competing on stage in Royal South Street for over 10 years, playing solo and being a part of productions in the orchestra pit, Her Maj has been such an amazing place for the arts to shine (amateur or professional) and we in Ballarat are so lucky to have such a historic, beautiful theatre. Performers and audiences locally, nationally and internationally are positively brought together. There's just something special about being in an old theatre; something newer theatres just cannot provide. As a performer, the feeling of walking on the stage of Her Maj has unique vibes. Her Maj is a very iconic building that draws people in, and in turn supports Ballarat's economy. The thought of never going back in Her Maj is something that makes me feel incredibly sad. So so so many memories I and many others will cherish forever. This would be such a huge loss for a town known for its heritage.
