LHT Unwrapped: Play in a Week

Lights, music, action! This April, it’s your time to shine in Play In A Week – a chance to create your very own Variety show and perform on the legendary stage of City Varieties Music Hall!
Kick things off with a backstage tour of our historic Victorian theatre, before starting rehearsals with our brilliant drama facilitators. Together, you’ll think it, create it, and bring your show to life before stepping into the spotlight for a grand performance!
Whether you’re a born performer or simply curious, all are welcome to take to the stage and tread the boards like a true Music Hall star.
