Our reopening
Our reopening
Unfortunately with the country back in lockdown, it will be a bit longer before we welcome back our amazing volunteers and customers, until then we stand in solidarity with friends in the arts around the world. We cannot wait to bring theatre back to the dales as soon as possible.
Give The Gift of Theatre
Gift Vouchers
We sell Gift Vouchers! If you or your family can't wait to get back to the theatre when we reopen, why not consider buying a gift voucher. Vouchers bought during the pandemic are valid for an extra year!

In November 2020 we performed The Addams Family Musical. Captured live and then streamed around the world, the ensemble cast gave fantastic performances. You can see photos from the production here:
