Main Auditorium
Kate is handing over control of the performance to you, the audience, as she allows you to select each song, each joke, and maybe even what she wears.
Accompanied by maestro extraordinaire Jordan Paul Clarke (Showstoppper! The Improvised Musical and the West End’s Public Domain), Kate will create a unique evening of songs, stories and games, with each show becoming one of at least 8,000 different outcomes (she’s counted them herself)!
Plus, a special Meet and Greet opportunity is available as a ticket add-on!
Age guidance: 14+
Colosseum of Chaos
Wed 27 May, 11am & 1pm
The Studio
Blending, physical comedy, and audience participation, the show plunges audiences into a gladiatorial game of silly challenges, slapstick battles, and spontaneous fun.
All under the command of an onstage Amazon Alexa. Expect big energy, creative chaos, and a truly unforgettable shared experience for all ages.
Age guidance: 5+
Adriana Brownlee
Mon 8 Jun, 7:30pm
Main Auditorium
Adriana Brownlee is a leading British mountaineer, certified paragliding pilot and adventure athlete. She is the youngest woman to have climbed the world’s second-highest and arguably most-notorious peak, K2, and the youngest woman to climb all 14 of the 8000m peaks.
Go a journey through one of the most hostile environments in the world, where no life can survive, and share stories of near death experiences and the highs and lows of her mountaineering journey.
Pinocchio
Fri 16 Jan - Sat 24 Jan
Main Auditorium
Geppetto, an old toy maker, always longed for a son of his own. One starry night, with a little help from the Blue Fairy and a cheeky little cricket, his wish was finally granted, and his latest creation, a puppet called Pinocchio, came to life!
With the help of Dame Mamma Mia and her hapless son Lampwick from the local pizzeria, will Pinocchio learn in time what it takes to be a "real boy’"?
With relaxed and BSL performances, this truly is a magical panto for the whole family!
Presented by LIDOS, members of Leeds Community Arts Network.
