Performed and Directed by InterACT, The Northern Region's Theatre Training Ensemble. Grab a drink, relax, and join us for a spell of secrets, sambuca and singing squirrels... Thurs 30 April & Sat 9 May
The Tufty Club by Lee Mattinson Oliver's life has been one long rehearsal. And tonight his vocal harmony group ‘The Miracles' are ready to storm the finals at his local talent show. But between a childhood bully, a disappearing-reappearing friend and ego-bulimic singing partner Carmel, the show might not go as well as Oliver had imagined. Fri 1 May & Sat 9 May
Smoke & Mirrors by Rosalind Wyllie For Elli moving back in with her folks was a mistake. Her Dad's pregnant child bride is a tedious swamp donkey, and they've relocated to some northern hellhole. Elli's not impressed! She's more likely to meet a unicorn than a decent bloke in this town. A quirky comedy about life after Uni. Thurs 7 May & Sat 9 May
One Shot by Louise Taylor The life of teetotal control freak Nicky is cracking under the weight of everything she's denied herself. A glimpse into the future shines a light on her past: is downing one shot really the end of the world? And is the end of the world always such a bad thing? Fri 8 May & Sat 9 May
When Skies Are Grey by Alison Carr When Janey's father died, she thought he had left her nothing but heartache and disappointments. Little did she realise, Paul and Shona may have an announcement, but they are about to be outshone as Janey lifts the lid on her bright and blinding secret.
