from our Artistic Director, Katy Taylor...
“It’s been a real joy to reconnect with people since we reopened our doors around this time last year. We’ve been listening to our audiences and we’ve lined-up an Autumn season we hope you’ll love, packed with North East talent and stories alongside some of the UK’s best touring theatre companies, live music, stand up comedy and brand new family shows.
During lockdown we worked hard to make our building more accessible, so it’s a real pleasure to present shows like Icarus Theatre’s The Lesson which uses new Creative Captioning technology for deaf and hard of hearing audiences, and to welcome the Lawnmowers Theatre Ensemble to Hexham for the first time, a brilliant North East theatre company run by and for people with learning difficulties.
I am delighted to share that we're teaming-up with Alnwick Playhouse and Alnwick Gardens on a magical new retelling of family favourite The Wind in the Willows for our main stage Christmas production this year. For the first time, there'll be an opportunity for young people to get on involved and perform on our stage as part of this year's cast! Watch our website and social channels for more information on that over the coming months...
Whatever you join us for, we look forward to seeing you at Queen's Hall soon.”
Katy Taylor Artistic Director, Queen’s Hall Arts Centre
