READY FOR 2020
There are so many exciting things to look forward to
in 2020 including the move to our new home
at Centrestage Village.
Bring in the new year in style with our rip-roaring cabaret;
‘Nashville New Year’ then celebrate Ayrshire’s favourite bard with
‘A Richt Guid Nicht’ inclusive of a three-course meal!
Our eagerly anticipated Dance Fringe hits the Centrestage theatre in
February with performances from our Mayhem, Bedlam, Jinx,
Pandemonium and 25+yrs Adult Dance Theatre companies.
Then join our 8-11yrs Musical Theatre companies as they find themselves
on an unexpected journey in February’s ‘Madagascar’.
In March, all your favourite Dr Seuss characters spring to life onstage as our
12-14yrs Musical Theatre companies present ‘Seussical Jr’!
And tickets are now on sale for our headline Summer production; ‘
Made In Dagenham’. Join our Centrestage Performers as they bring Rita
O’Grady and the girls of Ford’s Dagenham car plant to life.
What a time to be a part of Centrestage!
We can’t wait to make many, many more memories
with you this year… we’re ready for 2020!
