Our Productions
In recent years, The Grange Theatre has undergone an exciting change in direction. A key part of this evolution has been the development of in-house professional productions, championing Northern actors and creatives while creating new opportunities for original, high-quality theatre.
​
This approach has also allowed the Grange Theatre team to expand and develop their directing, technical, and creative capabilities, producing ambitious work that pushes the boundaries of how our space is used. From immersive staging to bold technical design, these productions reflect our commitment to growth, collaboration, and excellence in live performance.
