The team behind Unity Theatre’s Build Unity Better project has announced that the reopening date for the building, currently undergoing a £845,000 capital development project, has been rescheduled.

Unity Theatre now aim to open with a short ‘soft launch’ summer season in June and July with the building officially opening in Autumn 2017.

On Friday 19th May, Unity Theatre will still be participating in LightNight, Open Culture’s citywide festival, where festivalgoers passing through Hope Place will see window projections and a revised programme of street theatre outside the building.
