Stan Walker backs Waikato Regional Theatre plans
What local acts would you like to see on stage in the Waikato Regional Theatre?
Kiwi musician Stan Walker says there are "rough diamonds" in the hood in Hamilton, and the theatre plans could give them an opportunity.
Walker grew up in Hamilton - once attending Fairfield Intermediate and Hamilton Boys' High - and was back in town on Tuesday.
As well as hosting a workshop at Zeal, he gave a plug for $73.9 million plans for a Waikato Regional Theatre.
"I reckon there's a lot of rough diamonds here waiting to be given an opportunity," he said.
"The hood is where you're going to get the most talented people. They just haven't been exposed to [arts] like everyone else has."
