1 2021 WINTER EDITION Escape with us for the 2 Winter! Warm up with a hot new season experience. Theatre is such a wonderful experience, but at the end of the day (or night) it’s nothing without you. If last year taught us anything, it’s that while we love watching a group of artists transform live performance into something extraordinary, the work only truly comes to life when it meets you. Only by coming together do we get 1 to experience the power and joy of performance. Theatre is ordinary life, amplified. Done right and we get to inhabit other worlds, examine different lives, think new thoughts and escape the everyday. This year we’re exploring lots of new places. It’s not all happy endings, but hopefully you will join us on this adventure. We’re ready to take you somewhere unexpected.
