At Oldham Coliseum Theatre, you’re part of a shared moment that goes far beyond a performance.

The performance is just the beginning.
Be a part of something bigger.

A play may be a spark, but it’s the conversations, workshops, collaborations and moments beyond that keep the story alive.

We’re here to celebrate Oldham, to surprise you with creativity and to send you home more connected, more inspired and proud to be a part of what we’re making together.

CALL OUTS
