Oldham Coliseum Theatre has joined a consortium of nine regional venues working with English Touring Theatre on The Regional Touring Network.
It’s a three-year project to tour classic and contemporary work to audiences across the UK.
Facilitated by English Touring Theatre, the network will produce and tour drama to audiences throughout England. The launch has been enabled by a one-off award of £826,786 from Arts Council England and English Touring Theatre.
Executive director of Oldham Coliseum David Martin commented, “we’re delighted to have English Touring Theatre join us as they have a magnificent reputation for producing high quality theatre with a real appeal to audiences. We’re looking forward to welcoming them to join our rich mix of theatre.”
The first tour will commence next autumn.
