A SCHEME is urging people across North Yorkshire to support their local village hall.
Rural Arts is calling for people who live in villages around North Yorkshire to support live performance taking place in their local village halls.
The charity’s scheme, ON Tour, is celebrating its 25th anniversary and brings live performance to village halls across North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley.
From September 3, 52 performances will take place across over 30 venues, including the lively and dynamic Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band, one-woman circus show ‘Power’ and award-winning children’s performance from ‘Storycraft Theatre’.
The season is rounded out with music from honey-voiced Edwina Hayes as well as folk and Flamenco duo ‘Skinner and T’witch’.
Comedy theatre is represented in who-done-it ‘The Killer Question’ and spoken-word ‘How To Be A Better Human’.
A brand-new production of ‘Cinderella’ will wrap up the season for families at Christmas.
Natasha Glew, who manages the ON Tour scheme, says: “The last few years have been difficult – and we know some challenges aren’t going away – but we’re asking everyone who’s able to think about getting out to support live performance in their village halls.
