Oldham Coliseum announces pop-up theatre plans

The theatre company behind Oldham Coliseum has announced its spring and summer programme will be staged at a pop-up theatre. Its comes almost a year after the organisation bid farewell to its home on Fairbottom Street after losing its Arts Council England funding.

READ MORE: 'Our unusual theatre company makes hundreds for charity - but now we've been left without a home' Other groups are being invited to take part by Oldham Theatre Workshop as part of their partnership with the Coliseum. These include LumenUS, for young people with special educational needs; Chrysalis, a company for adults with a range of physical and learning disabilities; and its creative youth council, a group to help shape the future of theatre in Oldham.

Last March, the curtains of the 136-year-old theatre on Fairbottom Street fell for a final time despite a passionate campaign led by actors and residents to save it. In November 2022, it became the biggest theatre outside of London to lose its £600,000 Arts Council England subsidy.
