A very warm welcome to our magnificent seventh summer season at Omnibus Theatre. Our programme of events and productions switches up from May through to August, reflecting the vibrant energy of Summer, and for me and the team, this means festivals, four of them, of all kinds, for all people.
Behind all these shows are performers who are all challenging perceptions and taking artistic risks. We hope their work inspires you. Please do come and join us and be part of the creative buzz at Omnibus Theatre as we open up our multiple theatre spaces, throw open our café/bar doors and embrace the season ahead.
