The Manifest - Community Theatre in Manningtree & Around
We recently had a brilliant chat with Alison Baker & Jon Abbott of Manifest Theatre in Manningtree. In keeping with Manningtree's moniker as England's smallest town, its also home to a bijou theatre which seats just under 100 people, yet packs a punch in terms of the variety & quality of performances delivered. In the chat we talk about
- the history of the theatre and how it has evolved over time
- we chat about its role in the heart of the community and how it supports everyone from toddlers to octogenarians
- we hear about the recent sell out performance of Calendar Girls and the theatres exciting program for 2024
- we hear about the warm welcome that everyone receives at Manifest be they performers, stage creators, directors or visitors
We would highly recommend taking a look at the their website and in particular there brilliant newsletter which tells you all about
