"Seriously impressive." We're honoured to have been shortlisted by @thestage.bsky.social for Theatre of the Year at the #TheStageAwards. Thank you to everyone who has seen an OT show, supported our work, engaged with our community projects, and been a part of creating an amazing year of theatre 🧡

Started reading Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings today and get the distinct impression it’s going to be one of those books that stays with me for a very long time.

Join the team at the OT 👇🍊

First of three Christmas cabaret nights complete 🎄✅✨

★★★★★ “A classy, musical and seasonal feast. Play on!” • Catch our 'magical' production of Twelfth Night at the OT, running until Sat 25 January 2025 💛 🎟 orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/twelfth-night-2

We’re hosting a party 🎉🎉🎉 Celebrating all things Twelfth Night with the most glittering of line ups, all in aid of our Shakespeare in Schools projects!

Not naming names… but so disappointing to see new musicals in huge venues announced with marketing copy written almost exclusively by AI. These teams are buzzing with creativity… until it comes to the marketing. Do better.

Lunchtime dog walks this time of year really are unbeatable 🍂

🧡🧡🧡

Enjoyed an afternoon supporting my husband in what has become the annual marker of the beginning of the festive season in our house - the garden centre Christmas concert. Not pictured: the three mince pies I ate.

Press night ✅ An utterly sublime evening at the OT as we officially open Twelfth Night!

After an astonishing week of previews, we open Twelfth Night tonight and I 👏🏻 can’t 👏🏻 wait 👏🏻

Got excited because I thought there was a dog on the train, turns out it was a woman in a faux fur coat hunched over because the heating is broken. Very disappointed.

Pleaseeeeee @bsky.app can we have scheduling? Or is anybody using a good tool for Blue Sky scheduling a la Hootsuite??

✍️🎭 Think my resolution for 2025 is going to see way more new writing. I’m lucky enough to see so much theatre, but feel I don’t actually see much new work! Any recommendations welcome!

What Sarah said! 👇 The OT are looking for a new Carne Associate Director, with applications open until Friday. Come and join the team! 🍊 #theatrejobs

Wicked is the best movie musical of a generation. 10/10. No notes. Cried several times. 💚🩷

Last night’s theatre jaunt to see friends in Hairspray at the historic Kenton Theatre in Henley. Added bonus of a totally sold out show - and what a vibe. Nothing quite like being amongst hundreds of family and friends on a final show. So much fun!

Very excited to have started my favourite annual tradition of asking people what their least favourite Christmas song is and explaining to them why they’re wrong if they don’t pick Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime.

🧡 An exceptionally exciting day at the OT as we announce details of our £4m capital development project. Incredibly proud to be part of a venue investing so strongly to ensure we're a theatre for all, for the future.

HERE WE GO 💚💖 #wicked

This is an appreciation post for whoever green lit the 2023 London Guys & Dolls soundtrack recording, but especially for whoever was behind the decision to record & release everything. All the incidental bits, the beautiful interval barbershop arrangements, even the dance party track. Sublime. ♥️🎲

Incredible news. Such a powerful production and John Lithgow absolutely incredible 👏🏻👏🏻

Did I sit in the queue for Great Gatsby tickets in London? Yes. Did I get them? Yes. Am I excited? Oh yes. 💚
