The Urban Theatre Project

Programme

Everything that happens in the house: shows, workshops, readings, showings. Not forty-five chairs to fill, and they fill really, really fast. Doors close on the dot.

Coming up

Nothing on the board this week. The next thing is usually announced on Instagram with a week to go, and the seats go fast.
