Welcome

to Ipswich’s award-winning theatre

Autumn Season 2024

There’s something for everyone this autumn – from brand-new musicals to classic murder mysteries, side-splitting comedies, cultural dance shows… and our dazzling production of the world-famous, hit musical, Footloose!

This season is capped off by our latest Rock ‘n’ Roll panto, Sleeping Beauty!

The artwork for 'Footloose.' It shows someone dancing in a pair of white trainers. They are standing on a long empty road, with the surrounding area being miles of open landscape. The sun is setting in the background, giving the image an orange and pink glow. In the centre is the neon pink and white show title.

A woman wearing an orange outfit smiles as she holds a tray that has two china teacups and saucers on it. The background behind her is a wooden table with a green and white ceramic plate on it. At the top, in the centre, is burgundy text that reads 'Table Manners by Alan Ayckbourn.'
