So this happened yesterday! Huge thanks to our amazing @octagontheatre members & supporters, our incredible staff team, our brilliant sponsors @CarrsPasties & of course the legendary Peter Kay himself, for championing the Octagon at his 1st hometown gig in 20 years #proud#Bolton
Nine months ago, we were doing Upstart Crow in the West End. Then it suddenly closed along with every other play in Britain. I was so sad. I still am, but I'm proud and happy that we've got a Christmas special on @BBCTwo on Monday night. Next year, I hope, back on stage.
We are seeking individuals who are passionate about theatre to join our Board of Trustees.
We're confident that joining our board will be a rewarding opportunity to learn and expand networks whilst supporting an arts charity.
