Showcasing the theatrical life of Doncaster

Over the summer, Cast and Doncaster People's Theatre (DPT) have been digging into uncatalogued archives, recording oral histories, and hosting over 50 workshops to craft a piece of theatre that belongs to all of us.

This dedicated exhibition accompanies the production of Waiting in the Wings. Arrive early to explore the fascinating historical materials and memories uncovered during the project.
