Early Birds catch Top Shows this Autumn at Theatre in the Mill
Watch out for a brand new initiative for staff this autumn at Theatre in the Mill. Early Bird Fridays will feature shows specially chosen for University staff and students at the special start time of 6.30pm. This means that staff can come and see a show straight from work and be finished well in time to go home and enjoy the rest of the evening.
And what's more, all University staff get in at a special concession rate for these two shows on production of valid staff card!
The two Early Bird Friday shows are:
- 'Que Sera Sera?' by Miren Cicus Theatre Company 6.30pm Friday 18th October
- 'Company of Angels - the Story of Charlotte Salomon' by Horse & Bamboo Theatre 6.30pm Friday 22nd November
Full details of these Early Bird Friday shows and other events in the autumn season will be available in the Theatre in the Mill season brochure. Pick up your free copy from the Richmond Foyer, Student Information and Financial Services, or from the Theatre itself.
Further details will also be available on our website later this week: see www.bradford.ac.uk/theatre/ or email the Fellow in Theatre at: a.j.loretto@bradford.ac.uk.
