SHOWS ON THE GO
Bringing high quality performing arts experiences to communities across Western Australia
Shows on the Go is a community-driven touring model originally developed and ran by Regional Arts WA and now delivered by CircuitWest giving Western Australians – mainly in the regions – the chance to curate what shows they would like to see.

What are the benefits to you as a Presenter to present a Shows On The Go show?
- You will receive shows that are chosen by regional WA communities for regional WA communities
- Each show comes with complete technical support and a dedicated technical person who handles the set up and operates the lights and sound during the performance.
- CircuitWest covers accommodation and travel costs of the touring party
- You determine the price of your tickets based on your budget and what your community can afford. You can offer the show for free if you want
- You have the freedom to create the event you would like in your community. For example: you might offer a dinner and a show package, a BBQ before the show, a supper afterwards.
- Subject to availability and the tour schedule, workshops are provided by the touring artists that you can offer to your community, local groups or schools to increase understanding of the artform, and assist with promoting the show
- No contracting of artists required – your only contract is with CircuitWest
