Actor Eddie Perfect opposes renaming Melbourne's State Theatre to Ian Potter State Theatre due to public ownership.
Actor and musician Eddie Perfect opposes renaming Melbourne's State Theatre to Ian Potter State Theatre, as the theatre belongs to all Victorians. The Arts Centre announced the renaming due to the Ian Potter Foundation's $15 million donation to the theatre's refurbishment, set to reopen in 2027. Perfect acknowledges the foundation's philanthropic support but suggests public consultation on the State Theatre's naming rights.
