The Lyric's team includes owners Niki McCretton and Marc Parrett, theatre manager Tessa Bide and our resident apprentice-puppet makers Marta Gemma and Emily Faulkner. We moved in in September 2010 and have since worked to get the building up and running as an artist-led venue and hire-able space for creative people to come and make their work.
We have a puppet workshop upstairs where Marc, Marta and Emily are making puppets for Stuff and Nonsense (Marc and Niki's Theatre Company) and where we run our 'puppet club' from - a hugely popular club for budding puppet makers/puppeteers ranging in age from 7 to 60.
Downstairs is our kitchen, office, toilets and beautiful , flock wall-papered auditorium complete with proscenium-arch stage, donated grand piano and remove-able dance floor for classes.
We're running the theatre as a spontaneous venue for artists (and Stuff and Nonsense!) to create and showcase their work in but need help raising funds to make essential repair work to bring the building up to safe standards or we'll have to close down - boo!!! Please donate anything you can (money is preferred but we also like cakes. And kittens.)
Thank you!
