A Week Less Ordinary
February 11th, 2010
February half term sees the anniversary of the nationwide A Night Less Ordinary scheme which is the free ticket initiative set up by Arts Council England. The offer has been taken up by theatres all over the country including Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
A Night Less Ordinary allows theatres to offer free tickets for anyone under the age of 26. The anniversary week, A Week Less Ordinary, will celebrate the first year of the scheme and its success.
Oldham Coliseum Theatre has seen a great response to the scheme with over 2600 people registered and 2250 free tickets already processed. During the week the Coliseum will be promoting A Night Less Ordinary at half term activities throughout the borough.
Actors Steven Pinder and Samantha Giles who are starring in the current Coliseum production, Absent Friends, showed their support for the free ticket offer in a video where thy discuss their first theatrical experiences.
If you’re under 26 and are yet to take advantage of this offer then why not come and celebrate the anniversary with the Coliseum and see Absent Friends for free in its final week, closing on Saturday 20 February.
A Night Less Ordinary will run right up until February 2011. To find out more about what productions are included in the offer and details of the terms and conditions call the box office on 0161 624 2829 or visit www.coliseum.org.uk and click on A Night Less Ordinary.
