Theatre. Made in Bolton.
The Octagon Theatre lovingly bring stories to life on our stages designed to make you laugh, cry and sit on the edge of your seat. Over the course of a year, you might see a comedy or two, a brand new play, a musical, thought-provoking drama, a historical retelling and more.
Off our stages, the Octagon Theatre help nurture and develop stories of others. Through their work in the communities from their storytelling sessions for under 5s to drama group for over 50s they believe everyone should have the opportunity to be creative.
