A welcome return to home-produced theatre in Oldham. Date published: 13 July 2021
Cast members of The Glee Club.
Oldham Coliseum Theatre has announced its first full season since the pandemic – featuring heart-warming and thought-provoking drama alongside comedy, music, magic and dance - plus the highly anticipated return of the theatre’s much-loved annual pantomime.
With the new season the theatre also reignites its Season Ticket offer with multibuy discounts on eight shows throughout the Autumn and Winter months: Love N Stuff, Who Cares, Sunny Side Up, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, My Voice Was Heard But It Was Ignored, Blue/Orange, The Glee Club and The Ballad of Maria Marten.
A THEATRE group says it is excited to be back as it returns to the stage. Sudbury Dramatic Society plans to be back in action at the Quay Theatre this July following the easing of lockdown rules. The group is performing a double bill of two contrasting one-act plays. The plays have been rehearsed online and at socially-distanced rehearsals and will be on at the theatre from July 7-10 at 7.30pm. The first is Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down by Richard Cameron, directed by Helen Arbon. The play is a story of three women whose lives are linked by their different relationships with the same abusive man.

One of Donald Trump’s final acts as the nation’s 45th president was to sign an executive order called “Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture.” He signed the order on Dec. 18, 2020, but it had been kicking around for many months since it was leaked from the White House last winter as a draft proposal with the more Trumpian title of “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again.”
At the time, it elicited raspberries from architects of all stripes but support from some, possibly most, classicists. Recently, on Feb. 24, Biden issued his own executive order canceling his predecessor’s tip of the hat toward beauty.
