When was the last time you said, “Hey! Let’s go see a play!” I would expect that the answer would be that you can’t recall. Most of the time, when we plan outings for an evening, we think about dinner, a movie, perhaps a drive… We forget the wealth of options related to the arts. But before you say “No thanks, theatre is boring,” allow me to debunk some myths about theatre:

Myth #1: Theatre is boring. The reality: Not at all! You may recall theatre from your youth as a boring school outing, or worse, a performance that you were forced to be a part of when you were ten years old. But theatre can be a truly thrilling experience! A good play can make you laugh, make you cry, or make you think, and it can do it all without the benefit of clever camera angles or the special effects used in movies. Besides, the element of live performance keeps the entire thing exciting; the actors must get their performances right the first time! There are no second takes or do-overs. What’s boring about that? If you haven’t been to a play in a while, you owe it to yourself to give live theatre another try.

Myth #2: A good theatre is hard to find. The reality: Not if you’re in the West Midlands! Malvern Theatres is a spectacular resource for a variety of performances. They’re hailed locally and nationally for artistic and architectural excellence! They boast three auditoria, making Malvern Theatres a perfect venue for dramas, musicals, concerts, dance performances and yes, even cinema. The famous Malvern Festivals are held here, and the wide scope of entertainments available make Malvern Theatres a perfect spot for an outing.

Myth #3: Theatre tickets are expensive. The reality: Not at Malvern Theatres! Right now, those under 26 can get FREE theatre tickets at Malvern Theatres.
