Manchester’s Royal Northern College of Music stages Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking musical comedy Company from next Wednesday.

On Thursday there’s a chance to see local improvised theatre company We Are Improv perform its new show The Living Room at the Storey Institute in Lancaster.

Forty years after its first broadcast on US TV, a musical version of the classic TV sitcom Happy Days comes to Salford’s Lowry arts centre.

Described by one critic as a "one-man Jerusalem", The Bread & The Beer—at The Lowry in Salford next Friday—is a poem-come-ballad that collides the myths of ancient England with its modern heartbeat.

Award-winning theatre production company Organised Chaos Productions brings its latest work with the north west’s emerging talent to the King's Arms in Salford next week. Perspectives is three new 30-minute pieces of theatre.

Salford playwright John Waterhouse comes to The Met in Bury next Thursday with Dear Daughter, a poignant true story of growing up in north Manchester just before and during the First World War.
