This is a fun night out. See what BWW's critic thinks about this production.

The Hale Center Theater Orem is thrilled to produce the regional premiere of "Betty Blue Eyes," a rollicking new British musical about rekindling the spark in a waning marriage, letting some underdogs have their well-deserved day and introducing us to the lovable porker whose blue-eyed presence makes it all possible.

Retired bank manager Henry Pulling is happy alone with his dahlias until he meets his decidedly bohemian Aunt Augusta who, having rattled the family skeletons, persuades the reluctant Henry to flee to Europe. He finds himself in a luxurious whirl through Paris and Istanbul and on to South America; but alongside the romance and first-class thrills, there's a lot Henry doesn't know about his aunt - particularly why she has so many grateful men dotted around the globe.

Birmingham Ormiston Academy (or BOA as it is fondly known) may already be on your radar but if it isn't, you won't escape it for much longer. The performing arts academy for 14-19 year olds is an independent state-run establishment and was modelled on the very successful Brit School in London. In general, BroadwayWorld UK would not cover many non-professional productions but having been granted an exclusive license by Cameron Mackintosh to produce Betty Blue Eyes; an exception has been made. Performed by the Year 13's musical theatre pathway and supported by the Production Arts students in a technical capacity, the show also boasts a professional creative team whom the students can learn a myriad of skills from.

The Garden Of England, The Marlowe's first community production, took place last week and involved more than 150 members of the various creative classes, aged from seven to 77. The ambitious project, which looked at what it means to live in Kent, took place over four days in and around the theatre. Scroll down for photos!

These popular acting and writing workshops include The Marlowe Diddies (two to four years) and The Marlowe Minis (five to seven years). These provide the perfect introduction to the world of theatre with drama activities, music and games.

Everyone has the chance to be creative in a new series of workshops at The Marlowe Theatre. From music, movement and fun for pre-school children (The Marlowe Diddies), to a session for adults exploring the different styles of theatre through play readings and creative scriptwriting (The Marlowe Speakeasy), these events give people the opportunity to try something new.
