Scrooge! Friday Sold Out!

This year’s MYP/DP Production of Scrooge! will be a promenade performance. This description from the Scottish Arts Council explains what this means:

In Promenade the staging or performance area may be set in various locations in a venue. There may even be no distinction between the area the audience sit or stand in and the space for action. The audience inhabit, not just watch, a space.

Seating will be extremely limited! But you’ll not want to sit down as you are swept into the action and become part of the world the old miser Mr Scrooge inhabits!

Performances: 26 & 27 November, 7:00pm

Tickets available from reception free of charge. 

FRIDAY SOLD OUT!!!!!

A handful of tickets remaining for Thursday.
