PICTURE SPECIAL : Celebrating a decade of theatre at The Core at Corby Cube

The Core theatre replaced the Willows Arts Centre formerly the Festival Hall

This week marks the tenth birthday of The Core at Corby Cube and they are asking audiences and participants to share their best memories at the venue and particularly want to hear from local performers that have taken part in over 250 shows at The Core since 2010.

The Core’s Director, Joe Flavin, said: "There are so many brilliant moments to reflect on. From our first Christmas show Hansel and Gretel and packed houses for youth slam events in 2010, to the GROW festivals and Museum of The Moon at the start of this year bringing just shy of 10,000 people through the doors in one week.

"We were hoping to make a big splash this season to mark the occasion but our spirits are not dampened and we can’t wait to welcome audiences back for the next ten as soon as it is safe to do so.”

The venue has welcomed more than 325,000 audience members to live performances and films, including over 70,000 young people under the age of 19; Over 150,000 people have been involved in participatory activities, including over 75,000 young people.

The Core has also hosted more than 250 performances from Corby community groups and societies and supported over 4,000 local artists.

To mark their tenth birthday, for the month of December, The Core will be giving away ten tickets a week to shows in Spring 2021.
