Your Theatre, Your Story

As the country emerged from a final pandemic lockdown, Sunderland Empire were ready to announce their reopening. 

Life had changed. We were relearning how to socialise. And gathering together with a thousand other people in an enclosed space was a daunting prospect. 

But these collective cultural experiences are about more than entertainment. They’re a key part of what creates community.

And so, whilst being mindful of the understandable trepidation, we wanted to reawaken people’s passion and joy about coming back to see a show once again.
