Oldham Coliseum has declared: If we’re going out, we’re doing it our way.
This Friday, they celebrate all things Coliseum with script-in-hand performances of scenes and songs from favourite productions of the past decade, comedy, pantomime and appearances from special guests. The Coliseum’s theatre professionals have crafted this one-night-only event in just two short weeks giving audiences a final opportunity to “embrace the Coli and everything it means to Oldham, Greater Manchester and beyond.”
Meanwhile, a new board has had to be appointed to oversee the building’s closure and aim to preserve its legacy.
They are starting discussions with Oldham Council to safeguard the future of culture in the town.
