Wolverhampton Grand Launches Online Programme
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre is to launch a series of FREE online activities over the summer, and there is something for everyone to enjoy and engage with.
The activities which include, dance, drama, storytelling, spoken word and backstage tours of the theatre, will be streamed on the theatre's social media channels from Monday 20 July until Tuesday 1 September.
Wolverhampton based practitioners Fran Richards, James Collins, Tonia Daly-Campbell, Peter Chand and Jaivant Patel will lead the online workshops.
Vicky Price, Associate Director of Development and Communications said, "We are delighted to launch this online activity which is a first for us here at The Grand. I do hope our patrons enjoy watching or taking part. We have received many messages from our audiences saying how much they miss coming to the theatre and this will help them feel that one step closer to returning."
