Oldham Coliseum’s stage was given a new lease of life today as our resident production team along with set builders Splinter created a truly amazing backdrop for On The Piste.
Complete with a fully functional ski slope, Austrian alpine foliage, a moveable sauna and funky bar the set has everything the cast need to create a remarkable performance as the show opens this coming Thursday 3 September.
Take a look how the set looked as the production team put together the finishing touches ready for tomorrow’s rehearsal on the piste!

Today Oldham Coliseum’s latest cast members took a trip to Rossendale Ski for their first lesson on the piste. With a mixture of abilities the cast took to the slopes in an attempt to polish up their skiing skills ready for the productions opening night on 3 September.
