Crewe Lyceum celebrates 110 years

Crewe Lyceum has reopened as it celebrates its 110th birthday.

It enjoyed a busy reopening last weekend, welcoming visitors for the first time in 17 months: "It reflects just how much the theatre is valued in the hearts of the local community."

A 12-month programme of projects and events will commemorate the theatre's heritage, beginning with five new shows this season.

Director Adam Knight said he grew up watching performances at the Lyceum and is proud to continue that legacy.

"Our re-opening and 110th birthday are the perfect opportunity to celebrate the stories and successes that place our theatre at the very heart of our community."
