Centre Stage

Live performance in your area


Centre Stage is the Rural and Community Touring Scheme for Leicestershire and Rutland bringing opportunities for professional live touring to village and community venues throughout the two counties. Touring companies and performers with regional, national and international profiles who specialise in work for small spaces tour to venues across Leicestershire and Rutland offering a fantastic night out on your doorstep.These tours include a wide range of theatre, music, opera, dance, storytelling and poetry, children's theatre, puppetry and comedy theatre, with members of the local community hosting the event. When possible, and appropriate, allied participatory workshops are offered and these are placed in the local community.
All the shows listed are professional performances subsidised by your local District or Borough Council: Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley and Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire, and the two County Councils of Leicestershire and Rutland.
Most of the shows are suitable for general family audiences; however, to make it easier for you to plan a great night out, look for the family friendly symbol and particulary the age recommendation. For more information on the Scheme call Sue Roberts: 01544 327877
Tickets are sold locally for each event by the village or community promoters. Check with each venue for ticket prices.
The scheme is co-ordinated by Artservice on behalf of The Leicestershire and Rutland Arts Development Officers' Forum.
