Help bring Oddysea to Bathurst. Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre is raising funds to bring a really special theatre experience to the city, for young audiences with special needs. It hopes to being Oddysea, a multi-sensory performance by Sensorium Theatre, here in June. Set in a beautiful oceanic installation, the story unfolds around each audience member, using song, touch, smell and taste.
