Fabulous Theatre
Coming
To Washington in 2015
 |
| Kicking and Screaming |
Arts
Centre Washington’s Spring 2015 season is
packed full of theatre, music, dance, film and exhibitions to please all
tastes. Expect dance extravaganzas, one man shows, a student take over and a
girl with extremely long hair!!! Oh yes!
And a whole lot more!
 |
| Broke |
The
theatre programme focuses on life’s highs and lows whether it be the time bomb
of a new baby in ‘Kicking and Screaming’,
our struggle to pay the bills in ‘Broke’
or sibling rivalry in ‘Jumping Puddles’
– all told with humour and poignancy.
 |
| Odyssey |
One
of the highlights of the Spring drama season has to be Theatre Ad Infinitum’s
exciting rendition of Homer’s ‘Odyssey’.
Performed by one actor, over one hour this award winning performance has to
been seen to be believed.
 |
| Whatever the Weather |
As
ever the centre has a great offer of fantastic theatre for children and
families, who can learn all about the elements in the February half term show ‘Whatever the Weather’, enjoy food, music
and puppets in ‘Chicken Licken’ and
see the timeless story of ‘Rapunzel’
and her very long hair!
 |
| Chicken Licken |
In
May The University of Sunderland’s Drama students take
over the theatre for the month long ‘Sunfest’. Shakespeare and Aeschylus will be on the menu
alongside more modern plays such as Caryl Churchill’s ‘Top Girls’ and ‘Cloud 9’.
 |
| Patrick Monahan |
Stand
Up Comedy comes in the guise of two returning favourites. First up Patrick Monahan presents his
‘Adventures In Monahan Land’. Renowned for his playful audience interaction,
clean material and HUGs, Patrick has recently been seen on ITV’s ‘Splash!’ ‘Fake Reaction’, ‘Show Me The
Funny’ and ’Celebrity Squares’.
 |
| Lewis Schaffer |
Another
arts centre favourite stand up is acclaimed New York comic Lewis Schaffer who
is still ‘Free Until Famous’! There is no admission charge to see this
hilariously contentious comic you are only asked to pay at the end if you have
laughed!
 |
| Rapunzel |
Young
dancers will be strutting their stuff in the fantastic ‘Pulse’ dance showcase and Young Artists can show off their talent
as part of the ‘Sunderland Young Achievers Youth Arts Exhibition’.
 |
| Odyssey |
Live
music is also in plentiful supply. Look
out for the raw valve driven melodic noise of Washington’s own ‘Zeerox’ who play Hothouse, which is
organised in conjunction with The Bunker.
The arts centre is also very proud to be home to the award winning Davy
Lamp Folk Club every Saturday night whose upcoming acts include The Broonzies,
Rallion, The Keelers plus many more.
