This year our Members Days are hitting the road and coming to a place near you!
​
We‘re on a new and exciting journey making theatre make a difference. Across three locations - York, Bristol and London - we are giving you the chance to come and be part of it. Wanting to flex your theatrical muscles? Come and join the free drama workshop on offer. Or come along in time for lunch and our exclusive members event. Why not make a day of it and stay on for the public evening performance of Night Falls. ​
Join us at our Friargate Theatre base in York and see for yourself where the magic happens. If you are towards the South West, perhaps you can join us in Bristol or London if that is easier to get to. Whether here in York or somewhere on the road, we can't wait to see you.

Evening performance of Night Falls
Each members event will conclude with an optional performance of our brand new passion play Night Falls. Focusing on the days leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, Night Falls is a dramatic tale told through the eyes of Lazurus; a man struggling with faith, doubt, fear and hope. Featuring original music by Nikki Crowley, Night Falls is a fresh, vivid and dynamic retelling of the Easter story, blending an extraordinary score with powerful drama.
