New Season, New Look Questors

---

A new season heralds a packed new line up

 

The Questors Theatre is back and it's better than ever!

"We've had a major refurbishment programme happening over the summer, with teams of volunteers repainting all the Foyer walls and staircases, and smart new carpets being laid throughout," says Marketing Co-ordinator Ian Briggs. "It's been a huge project. The old wooden benches have all been removed and the Refreshments Counter completely remodelled. As I speak, the carpeting is only a few feet from the foot of the stairs and the Playhouse doors are awaiting their final coats of paint."

And if you haven't already been on the website, it's worth following our link. Not only is it a pleasure to look at, you can book tickets online.
