Exciting time for theatre as new café menu is launched

It’s a Café Bar that is in the heart of the community – situated in the town’s only purpose built professional theatre. And now, the Marina Theatre Café in Lowestoft is launching its new menu, with something to appeal to all tastes.

The Café Bar is the place to visit before an afternoon or evening show, with the introduction of the pre theatre dining range of High Tea Platters.

And why not follow this up with a winter warmer of a dessert, with choices including Sticky Toffee Pudding, Spotted Dick, Caramel Apple Pie and Fruity Berry Stack.

We also champion gluten free options across the menu. And there’s more!

A range of hot and cold drinks are also available, including takeaway options – perfect for those cold winter days. Cakes including the Chocolate Brownie, Caramel Shortbread and Fruit Scones, all of which are gluten free, are always popular.

The new menu launched on Thursday, October 27 and the café is open from 10am Monday to Saturday.

To book for pre theatre dining, speak to a member of staff as 24 hours’ notice is required.

Wildlife Road Trip

An informative show will take the audience behind the scenes of the wonderful world of wildlife and TV presenting when it is held at the Marina Theatre in Lowestoft.

Wildlife Road Trip stars Natural history broadcasters Martin Hughes-Games and Iolo Williams and will take place on Thursday 10 November at 2:30pm. The two names will be familiar to many, particularly with the recent successes of Springwatch and Autumnwatch.

“I actually took a boat out from Lowestoft during the live Springwatch series so that I could come live from the sea,” Martin recalled.

“Unfortunately the scientists plankton net got caught around one of the propellers halving our return speed. It was a very long trip home that night! We had a fantastic time on Springwatch coming live from Minsmere for three years and there is Dunwich heath and a range of other reserves. This means there is a network of different, carefully managed, habitats resulting in a superb range of wildlife.”

Iolo added: “I love visiting East Anglia as it’s so different to mid-Wales where I live so I’m very excited about visiting Lowestoft and having some time to look around the area. One of the great joys of coming across to Lowestoft is making time to visit the Suffolk coast and its amazing wildlife. Mind you, the local beer is pretty good too!”

Along with fascinating facts and plenty of fun, their exciting journey is filled with real life stories and a few surprises along the way.

Tickets are £15.75 for adults with groups of 20 or more paying £11 each. Teachers go free.

Book today by calling the box office on 01502 533200 or visit www.marinatheatre.co.uk

Following the success of last year’s Summer Youth Project MBK Creative Productions in association with the Marina Theatre are thrilled to present the Madness Musical Our House.

Our House is a fast moving romantic-comedy featuring all the hits of Madness. The show tells the tale of Joe Casey and the two courses his life may take after committing a petty crime to impress his girlfriend.

The show features Madness favourites such as Our House, Baggy Trousers, My Girl, Driving in My Car, The Wings of a Dove and the all-time classic It Must Be Love.

The aim of this SUMMER THEATRE PROJECT is to provide up to 40 youngsters aged 10 – 21 years with the opportunity to work together, with top industry professionals in a professional theatre. The two week project culminates in 3 performances of a full-scale musical under the supervision of a highly skilled creative team including Director & Choreographer Matt Flint, award winning Musical Director Benjamin Holder, a live band and technical team all in less than 2 weeks!

Audition Dates are 23rd & 24th April 2016
