Welcome to our new blog. Here you will find a wide range of posts – from factual news content and interviews, to image-led stories and videos – covering five main topics: Buildings, Heritage, Learning, People and Shows.
Written by Kelly Scotney.
Every week we will bring you posts written by ourselves, the cast and crew of visiting companies, partners, suppliers, and members of our Youth Theatre and Leeds Actors In Training, plus friends from the regions’ arts and culture sector, and wider industries. We will also share press reviews and social media comments from you, our audience!
Our hope is to raise the curtain on our world and provide an insight into our past, present and future.
Posts to look forward to include:
A look back at when BBC’s Peaky Blinders filmed at The Varieties (to coincide with the new series launch on Sunday 27 February)
An insight into apprenticeships at Leeds Heritage Theatres, featuring interviews with past apprentices
An interview with Northern Ballet’s Prima Ballerina, Abigail Prudames, as we celebrate International Women’s Day and Northern Ballet’s return to The Grand with Casanova
A staff-led whodunnit murder mystery ahead of CLUEDO’s visit in March
An update from The Picture House Project – see our beautiful cinema mid-renovation
Of course, everything is better when we work collaboratively. This blog is for you; we actively encourage and welcome your input. If there is any part of our world that you are particularly interested in learning more about, then please let us know by emailing info@leedsheritagetheatres.com with the subject line ‘Blog’.
