Home to Durham Student Theatre (DST), the Assembly Rooms hosts a new show every week and offers a packed programme of performances for SITC, including the classic ‘Cat on a hot tin roof’. There’s also comedy musical ‘The Addams Family’ 8 – 11 June and ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief’, 23 – 25 June.

On 11 & 12 July, art meets science in an exciting production called ‘Supernova’, aimed at 16-18 year olds with an interest in science and time travel, and if you’re a fan of dance, follow the yellow brick road with Durham University Ballet Company as they perform family favourite ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at Gala Durham on 21 June.

This is just a small sample of the fantastic performances you can choose from – see the full selection and all the details here.
