June (and a bit of July) at the Headgate Theatre

Make sure 'you're in town' over the next few weeks for a mix of musical theatre, one night concerts, Dylan Thomas, and a two-hander from Nick Payne. We've also got auditions for our autumn productions. The start of July brings a showcase of Colchester talent and a satirical comedy musical. http://eepurl.com/b2HBMv
