An "exciting" new theatre will open its doors in Ellesmere Port next week following a £2.8M development.
Theatre Porto, formerly Action Transport Theatre, is a theatre company that has garnered a reputation for producing original theatre and undertaking wide-ranging community work in Cheshire for more than 35 years. Their new venue, funded by Cheshire West and Chester Council and Arts Council England, will be the only specialist, purpose-built theatre and cultural centre for children and young people in the county.
This contemporary performance space, in Whitby Park, now houses a state-of-the-art 150-seat flexible auditorium for performances and film screenings. The building will also play host to rehearsal rooms, a temporary gallery and new café with an outdoor terrace.
