Civic Theatre to reopen after roof damage

The venue was originally due to reopen on Monday for the production of How the Koala Learnt to Hug but a spokeswoman said the show was cancelled.

She confirmed the venue will reopen tomorrow but the Chris and Pui Show - due to be performed on Wednesday - would not take place.

The Civic Theatre had to close on Monday, March 14 after two small pieces of wood had come loose in the ceiling area above the stage, forcing them to cordon off the stage.

A spokeswoman said: "The repairs have now been completed and the theatre will be back open tomorrow."

She added the The Chris and Pui Show - originally scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) had already been rearranged for Tuesday, May 31.

People who have bought tickets can transfer their booking or get a full refund.

A production of Sweeney Todd by Rotherham Teachers Student Academy - due to be held last week - was also cancelled.

It will now take place from Tuesday, April 26 until Saturday, April 30.

People who have booked tickets for any of the shows can call the box office on 01709 823621.
