Leicester’s Curve, which is celebrating its 15th year, has revealed the full line-up for Curve on the Square, the theatre’s weekend of free outdoor entertainment.
It will begin at 6PM on Friday 11 August with musical theatre performers Matt Hilton and Yasmina Berraoui taking to the stage, and there will also be performances from Moving Together Senior Company and Over-55s dancers.
On Saturday 12 August, a session of Little Curve—the theatre’s regular creative workshop for young children—will kick off the day at 11AM and will be followed by Indian dance from Curve Associates Nupur Arts and a creative and interactive family workshop by Leicester theatre-makers Mix It.
Throughout Saturday afternoon musical theatre performers Indialily Cooper, Ava Fletcher and Joshua Taylor-Williams will sing a variety of favourite musical numbers. Curve Community Company will also take to the stage with puppetry and drama pieces focused on community spirit.
Mary Bonam will begin the entertainment on Sunday 13 August with a workshop for children from 11AM. In the afternoon Curve Young Community Company Musical Theatre members Aimee Coe and Alex Budding will entertain.
Curve’s chief executive Chris Stafford and artistic director Nikolai Foster said, “Curve on the Square came about during lockdowns as part of our determination to keep audiences and community groups connected. This lively and informal outdoor event proved massively successful and we’re thrilled it’s back as a regular fixture.”
