From innovative theatre productions and comedy shows to vibrant musical performances and immersive experiences, the Autumn/Winter 24/25 season celebrates creativity and artistry in all its forms.
Hannah Prior, artistic director of Bishops Castle-based Arts Alive, shared her excitement about the upcoming season, saying: "This season’s programme is a celebration of the incredible diversity and creativity in the performing arts. From ground-breaking new theatre productions to electrifying musical performances, we’ve curated a season offering something special for everyone."
Among the highlights of the new season is Devilled Eggs, 'a sizzling blend of satire and drama that offers a fresh take on contemporary issues with a side of sharp wit'.
More drama comes in the form of immersive theatre experience Pepper & Honey, while The Plot Thickens is a brand-new comedy that promises to do just that.
The season also brings local company Pentabus Theatre's brand-new musical, Make Good: The Post Office Scandal and
Music comes from Bowjangles with their inimitable musical comedy and Kathleen Ferrier Whattalife, a tribute to the legendary contralto.
Arts Alive is committed to providing a platform for both emerging and established artists to tour the rural network of villages and marketing towns across Herefordshire and Shropshire, and this season is no exception. Audiences can look forward to a rich and varied program that celebrates the power of live performance and the arts' ability to inspire, challenge, and entertain.
In addition to live performances, Arts Alive is also continuing its popular Flicks in the Sticks season, bringing the magic of cinema to local communities with a carefully curated selection of films, from beloved classics to contemporary blockbusters, all screened in community venues throughout the region.
