To a theatre

Our Story

Front Room was set up by Emma and Adam and we are local residents of Weston with decades of experience of working as freelance theatre makers, writers, directors and performers. Along with the help of Culture Weston, a grant from the Arts Council England, and a group of amazing people armed with mops from the local community, we managed to transform an old pizza express into a fringe theatre. We hope to move to a more permanent building in the future but in the meantime we are just concentrating on building a community and putting on some great stuff.

​

We were recently over the moon to find out that we have been awarded another grant to allow us to continue what we do for the next year and are now in an incredible position to be able to hire two members of part time staff in the form of Jess and Luke. LIFE CHANGER!

​

We believe that theatre is for everyone, and should be an informal and approachable space where everyone feels comfortable, It's part of being human to tell and listen to stories! We want it to feel as though it's a place for everyone to come and relax, have a great time and watch some great live performance.
