June 25, 2024
A season of events to celebrate 60 years of the Putney Arts Theatre begins this weekend.
The venue is marking six decades of providing arts and culture based activities including drama classes, education and performances for our local community in Putney and further afield.
A spokesperson for the theatre said, “We have a number of events planned for the year to help us reflect on where we have come from, how we got to where, and who, we are today and where we are going. And we want to celebrate and thank all those who have helped us on the journey, some with knowledge, skills and expertise, some in very practical ‘hands on’ ways and others with generous donations, grants and legacies.”
The first event is this Friday (29 June) and Saturday (30 June) at the theatre beginning at 7.30pm.
Members of the resident companies, Group 64 Theatre for Young People, Putney Theatre Company and some of the theatre’s alumni will be performing songs, music, sketches, dances and readings for your pleasure and entertainment. And you will be able to learn about the theatre’s journey from a disused Church Building to the thriving performance space it occupies today.
Tickets are available from www.putneyartstheatre.org.uk or by calling the box office on 020 8788 6943.
Putney Arts Theatre is on Ravenna Road (SW15 6AW).

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
