A NEW venue in Weston-super-Mare has recently opened its doors and now has a whole host of theatre performances lined up just for you.
The Front Room theatre opened its doors in the old Pizza Express on Dolphin Square in December 2022. With help from Theatre Orchard, Culture Weston and a grant from the Arts Council, the disused unit was soon transformed into an impressive independent venue.
They kicked off the business with a show from local theatre collective 'From The Mud', which uses Weston-based talent to create a quirky and unique performance.
They have also seen huge success with adult comedy show 'Me Monster' and family show 'Much Ado About Puffin.'
If you are wanting a night of entertainment, laughter and more, it is definitely worth a visit to this small but charming venue. Here are some upcoming shows to keep on your radar.
Atomic Rhubarb
Next weekend, Atomic Rhubarb will be visiting the Front Room fringe theatre venue, gracing audiences with their "splendidly sharp edge."
The show 'Period Drama' aims at bringing period education to life. Please note that the show is suited for children aged nine plus.
The show will take place February 11 and 12, 11am and 2.00pm.
Kid Carpet
Front Room welcomes Kid Carpet's show 'Super Mega Rockin' Rock Show.'
The Bristol-born musician is known for using unconventional instruments to create his music, such as children's toys.
He will be bringing this energy to perform songs from his family theatre shows and other Kid Carpet classics while inviting the audience to play ping pong, help catch a lost sandwich in space and take part in a grand dance contest.
This show is suitable for children aged three to eight.
The show will take place February 14 and February 19, 11:00am and 2:00pm.
It's all happening in Weston this half term!
