RCT Theatres has announced its new Autumn/Winter line-up, with exciting new productions and movies coming to the Coliseum Theatre and Park & Dare Theatre, as well as the welcome return of its family panto!
After a challenging two years, the auditoriums are once again being filled with the sounds of music, laughter and drama.
Councillor Bob Harris, Cabinet Member for Public Health and Communities, said: “It is wonderful to have audiences back at our theatres once again and I am delighted that RCT Theatres has announced an exciting, new, packed and varied season to suit all tastes.
“Both our theatres are special places, steeped in history and firmly established in their local communities, providing entertainment in the 21st Century, just like the day they did when they first opened their doors all those years ago.
“It is wonderful that we have these venues on our doorsteps, attracting some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry – a true testament to the top quality of our shows.”
