On 7 June, Tribute Night returns to The Rising Sun Arts Centre going slightly off-piste this time round - instead of a singular artiste, they're celebrating 40 years of Live Aid with a night of songs played at that historic event!

The flipside to this is @uniofreading.bsky.social Art Students putting on an event in one of our town's venues - which is happening this Friday with a Performance Art Evening at the Rising Sun Arts Centre!
Expect performances, installations, and the unexpected!

On 7 & 8 June, it's the return of The Whiteknights Studio Trail - a walking tour of 33 venues in the University area, where you can browse (and, in some instances, buy) art from 48 talented local artists who will be more than happy to discuss their work!

And there's more burlesque cabaret coming up at the end of June, too, when D'Lecter Cabaret return to Sub89 for their Summer Sizzler - a fabulous evening filled with mesmerizing Burlesque performances, captivating comedy, circus, music, and unforgettable moments.

And if that's not enough noose-adjacent theatre #inrdg for you, Progress Theatre's next show is the musical Parade, based on the real-life story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn Jew accused of murder in the deep south.
That's on 12-21 June
