9 April 2021; We know how keen our theatre groups are to get back up on stage.  In order for them to make plans, subject to any further changes to the rules, we intend to run the Sep-Dec 2021 Season, 'as normal’ at Compass Theatre.

The Winston Churchill Theatre is currently hired by NHS, who may still use it as a vaccination centre, and/or the space may still have a role to play as a PPE store. At this moment we’re unable to advise when the WCT will be back in our hands but hope to know soon, so that we can proceed there too.  For now though, as far as our diary is concerned;

OUTDOOR events after 21 June 2021 will be considered (Compass Theatre, Barra Hall Park, Southlands, Manor Farm)

INDOOR events after 1 September 2021 can be accepted (subject to changes and WCT access)

This gives our staff and volunteers the chance to return and retrain safely and prepare for shows post-pandemic.  It also gives our community groups the chance to rehearse, plan their summer, get licenses, tell audiences and sell tickets!

We’ll be getting Compass events; The Stage is Yours summer school and the winter pantomime Beauty and the Beast on sale very soon.
