COVID UPDATE
Whilst we can no longer legally require the wearing of face masks within the Shop Front Theatre, we would urge our audiences, and visitors to continue to wear masks unless you are exempt. Similarly, all our creative team are being asked to continue wearing masks wherever possible. We feel there is still a significant risk, so we are doing everything we can to keep our team and audience safe at all times.
