News
Welcome!
The good news for the smokers amongst you is that our remote control awning has been installed in front of the main entrance, and it now provides much needed shelter from the cruel winter elements. More improvements (including heating and furniture) will be made to this area as we progress into the season, so thanks for your patience.
We have received many positive comments about the smoking ban from our patrons, and the bar is definately much pleasanter for it, so why not stay after the show and enjoy a drink at DLT?
Finally, please can all members and visitors to the theatre remember to park their cars considerately? There is a car park just off Medlock St which can be used outside of Medlock Primary School hours, and our own car park just off Castle Close. We don't want to upset our lovely neighbours.

Our Next Production:
STORMY NIGHT
A Mystery Comedy Spoof
by Tim Kelly
Monday 7th–
Saturday 12th July 2008
Directed by Eddie Hynes
A shameless spoof loaded with laughs &
thrills.
The creepy, haunted Ye Old Wayside
Inn oozes New England Gothic
atmosphere
and never has guests. Several intruders from the outside world are forced
to seek shelter but
who’s the skeleton in the wheelchair & why is
it wearing a
bridal veil?
When the wind howls, and
the lights flicker, the chilling time begins.
Booking
commences Thursday 26th June 2008
