Storyhouse postpones Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre

Storyhouse have announced that this year's planned season of Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre, which costs £ ¾m to stage and accounts for one fifth of the charity's entire annual ticket income, has been postponed until next summer.

The three shows, which are produced by Storyhouse – Pride & Prejudice, Taming of the Shrew and The Jungle Book will be moved to the same dates in 2021.

The charity has said that they have run out of time whilst waiting for news on which open air events and theatre will be allowed. The postponement leaves the future of Storyhouse in doubt as it struggles with lack of guidance on when, and how it is going to be able to stage any shows.

Storyhouse is one of the country's busiest cultural centres with over 1 million customer visits every year and a great asset to our region. It is asking friends and supporters to help by joining a new membership schemeas well as donating to keep the organisation alive.
