Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch launches Tiny Plays project by telephone

Throughout summer 2020 Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch ran a highly successful online initiative called Ten Tiny Plays. They invited members of the public to explore play-making exercises with local theatre director Jules Tipton.

On Wednesday 27 January, the Theatre is delighted to reimagine these free playmaking workshops delivered by telephone, especially for people with limited or no digital access. Participants can join Jules Tipton on a group phone call every Wednesday afternoon for a playful introduction to some easy storytelling activities designed to help unleash their creativity. No experience is necessary, and the project is open to everyone!

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch will choose some of the Tiny Plays created in these workshops to be rehearsed and performed by professional actors. These plays will then be shared back as a brand-new telephone play.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch have partnered on Ten Tiny Telephone Plays with the Havering Asian Social Welfare Association (HASWA) and DABD. This is a continuation of their existing partnership work to support older and isolated individuals who would most benefit from the opportunities.

If you know someone who would enjoy getting involved or would like to participate yourself, please email the Learning Team on learning@queens-theatre.co.uk .

Casting announced for festive variety show Christmas Allsorts at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Full casting has today been announced for Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch’s traditional seasonal special Christmas Allsorts.

The Theatre is excited to be welcoming back actors who are no strangers to its stage. They include Lauryn Redding, who was in The Hired Man and last seen in the West End show The Worst Witch, and Alex Tomkins, who was in Made in Dagenham and Cinderella. Alex finished his run at the beginning of the year as the first cover for the lead in the hit West-End musical School of Rock.

The pair are joined by talented actor-musicians Sioned Saunders and Tom Self. They have had successful careers with roles in hit Queen’s Theatre musicals and pantomimes The Hired Man, Priscilla – Queen of the Desert, Made in Dagenham, Robin Hood and Cinderella.

Audiences will be treated to a delightfully traditional family variety show, wrapped up in tinsel, with a bit of everything loved about the very best time of the year. This glamorous and brightly coloured selection box of music, dance and comedy includes yuletide tunes from films and musicals, as well as much-loved Christmas pop, alongside classic and new comedy sketches.

Christmas Allsorts will be rehearsed and performed in a socially distanced environment. It will be directed by the Queen’s Theatre’s Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul (As You Like ItThe Hired Man, Priscilla – Queen of the Desert, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch). With musical direction by Tom Self, lighting design by Stephen Pemble and choreography by Sundeep Saini.

Director Douglas Rintoul says ‘It’s fantastic to have a cast of familiar faces return to Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch. The cast are amazingly talented actor-musicians coming from smash-hit shows and they’re going to make Christmas Allsorts an absolutely unmissable family treat.’

Christmas Allsorts will enjoy a strictly limited run from 11 December – 3 January, with only 200 tickets available per performance in a socially distanced auditorium. Aimed at audiences of all ages, aged 8+. Tickets are £6.50 – £26.50 (plus 65p QRenew Fee).

Statement from Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch on November Lockdown Measures

Whilst Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch will sadly need to close as a building from this Thursday, throughout the rest of November,‎ in line with the latest Coronavirus National Restrictions, we’re ‎relieved that the Government late last night confirmed that theatres can continue to rehearse and live stream productions.

With that, we’re pleased to announce that next week’s world premiere of Misfits, the latest Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production, will continue, with all twelve performances live streamed, as this new production gets performed from the empty auditorium! This entertaining fresh work, capturing the true spirit of Essex and its people, was always designed to be watched at home OR in the theatre, and tickets have been sold on this basis to date.

Existing bookers will be able to view the production in real time via a private link to the live stream‎ that will be sent out on the day of the performance (as previously planned).

New bookers can continue to book a ‘virtual seat’ for all performances, with immediate effect, and will also be sent the private link on the day.

Booking for Misfits, and spreading the word that it’s continuing (and going to be brilliant!), is one of the best ways of supporting your local theatre, and the writers, actors and creatives making the show, through this difficult time for the entertainment industry. It also guarantees you a fantastic and unique Lockdown highlight!

All other presentations throughout November are being postponed to later dates. We’ll be back in touch with those new dates, and to transfer your tickets, in the coming couple of weeks.

We’re also switching more of our incredibly popular and vital ‎learning and participation programme online for the next month, and will be in touch with participants directly in the coming days too (and hopefully with news of some exciting new projects before too long).

Like many charities, now, more than ever, we urgently need your support, to help us continue and rebuild some of the charitable activity lost to the devastating‎ impact of COVID-19 on us and our community. You can donate via this link or by text – simply text:

QTH to 70085 to donate £5

QTH 10 to 70085 to donate £10

QTH 15 to 70085 to donate £15

or QTH 20 to 70085 to donate £20

Thanks again for all the extraordinary generosity‎, encouragement and patience our supporters have shown. The last three months at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, since we re-opened, have seen some of the most wonderful responses from audiences of all ages enjoying the work of the Theatre again, in real life. We look forward to a uniquely theatrical November with you, through ever so special digital experiences, and fingers crossed, re-opening our doors at the beginning of December.

Stay safe in the meantime.

Casting announced for innovative world premiere at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Full casting has been announced for Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch’s upcoming production of Misfits, an innovative new hybrid of live theatre and digital content, playing 12-22 November 2020. Bookers will purchase a ticket which will allow them the choice of watching the show be performed live onstage in front of a socially distanced audience or streamed to their homes, right up until the day of the show. Misfits intertwines four inspirational tales of Essex resilience to make an unmissable world premiere by four of the region’s most exciting playwrights: Anne Odeke, Guleraana Mir, Kenny Emson and Sadie Hasler.

The play will be rehearsed and performed in a socially distanced environment. It will be co-directed by QTH Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul (As You Like It; In Basildon; The Hired Man, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch) and Emma Baggott (Stiletto Beach, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch; Assistant Director for As You Like It, RSC).

The cast is: Anne Odeke (Bartholomew Fair, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Globe Theatre), who is also writing part of the piece, Gemma Salter (Cruel Intentions, The Assembly Rooms), Mona Goodwin (The Visit, National Theatre) and Thomas Coombes (Save Me, Sky TV).

QTH Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul says: “We’re incredibly proud to be commissioning and employing freelancers during this challenging time for this brand new joyous and celebratory play about the Essex experience. This sterling cast will take you on an epic and whirlwind journey through place and time, leaving you a little more in love with this misunderstood region. Enjoy it in the theatre or from the comfort of your sofa, the choice is yours.”

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch awarded Government Cultural Recovery Funding

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch (QTH) is delighted to have been one of the 1,300 cultural organisations across the country today‎ awarded Government Cultural Recovery Funding. This award is an incredibly valuable lifeline at a crucial time for arts organisations like the Theatre‎ and recognises the vital role QTH plays at the heart of the local community, as a regionally significant player and as a key contributor to the national cultural infrastructure too.

We’re so very grateful to the DCMS and Arts Council England for the support and vote of confidence, and to everyone else who has donated so generously and helped to keep the Theatre afloat since March 2020.

But particularly given recent developments and restrictions, there is much more to do to help charities like QTH survive, recover and thrive again in the future. This invaluable award represents 5% of last year’s turnover, but despite this the charity will still lose out on more than £3 million of income this year.

So audiences and supporters are encouraged to do everything they can to keep supporting their local theatre ‎- by booking tickets for now and into the future, donating where they can, using the Cafe and spreading the word that the Theatre is open, COVID-19 Secure and looking forward to increasingly getting back into business.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch announces Autumn 2020 season

  • World premiere of Misfits, intertwining tales of Essex resilience by four commissioned writers: Anne Odeke, Guleraana Mir, Kenny Emson and Sadie Hasler.
  • Christmas Allsorts, a brand new, delightfully traditional family variety show.
  • I AM HERE, a new online project exploring representation in the arts through the lens of class, race, gender and sexuality, led by the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch Young Changemakers.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch has today (Tuesday 1 September) announced its Autumn 2020 season following the news it will be reopening its doors to the public on Thursday 3 September. The building has been closed to the public for the last five and a half months, while extensive work has continued behind closed doors to complete the Theatre’s £1.2 million QNew Transformation capital programme.

The Autumn season has been significantly revised to reflect the current circumstances surrounding socially distanced performances and reduced auditorium capacity. The season includes Misfits, an innovative new hybrid of live theatre and digital content – bookers will purchase a ticket which will allow them the choice of watching the show be performed live onstage in front of an audience or streamed to their homes, right up until the day of the show. Misfits intertwines four inspirational tales of Essex resilience to make an unmissable world premiere by some of the region’s most exciting playwrights. It is the next step in the Theatre’s Essex on Stage programme, an ambitious new two year programme led by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, championing positive notions of Essex, celebrating theatre made by working class people and raising aspirations for emerging artists from Essex and Outer East London. Misfits is a collaborative project written by four Outer East London and Essex writers. Three of the four writers have not been commissioned by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch before:

  • Anne Odeke, a Southend-based actress to whom QTH has given her first ever writing commission (Bartholomew Fair, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Globe Theatre)
  • Guleraana Mir, (Coconut, Ovalhouse), Hornchurch-based playwright and one half of female-led theatre company The Thelmas
  • Kenny Emson, award-winning Essex playwright (Rust, Terrorism, Bush Theatre; Plastic, Mercury Theatre Colchester)

The fourth, Sadie Hasler, co-founder of Southend theatre company Old Trunk and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch Associate Artist, wrote the highly acclaimed Stiletto Beach for the Theatre, as part of the 2019 Essex Girls and Boys season.

The Theatre is also bringing a range of socially distanced comedy, family and music guest shows to its Main House throughout the Autumn, as well as showcasing new work from emerging artists as part of its Outer Limits programme on its newly renamed The Other Stage. The popular community Café will also reopen, and the Theatre’s impressive learning & participation programme, which engaged over 32,000 participants of all ages last year, continues with a range of online and in-person activities.

Finally, the Theatre gets festive with Christmas Allsorts. The Theatre is offering this brand new seasonal special as an alternative to its regular Christmas pantomime, following the announcement, alongside Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, Hackney Empire, Theatre Royal Stratford East, that the pantomime cannot go ahead. The production is a delightfully traditional family variety show featuring yuletide tunes from films and musicals, as well as beloved Christmas pop, alongside classic and new sketches.

Finally, the Theatre is also launching I AM HERE, a new online project taking place across four sessions, featuring trailblazing artists Paul Bradshaw (A Christmas Carol, Lyceum Theatre), David Gilbert (Umtolo, The Young Vic), Jordan Gray (Transaction, Comedy Central), Kelly Jones (Room To Escape, BBC Arts). The sessions have been produced and will be hosted by the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch Young Changemakers, a group of nine individuals aged 18-25, all from different backgrounds, all living in Outer East London and Essex, who are passionate about bringing young people into theatre. Each weekly session will focus on a different intersection of identity: class, race, sexuality and gender, exploring representation in the arts.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch reopens its doors!

The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is delighted to be able to reopen its doors to the public on Thursday 3 September. The Theatre invites audiences to pop in to pick up its brand new Welcome Back leaflet, have a chat with the Box Office team about upcoming productions in our Autumn season, and enjoy a cup of tea and a cake in the re-opened Café!

While the building has been closed to the public for the last five and a half months, extensive work has continued behind closed doors to complete the Theatre’s QNew Transformation, an exciting programme of building improvements which will allow the Theatre to make high quality theatre in developed spaces, work with more young people and community groups, offer an increasingly comfortable experience to audiences, be more open and accessible to D/deaf and disabled people, and keep the Theatre alive as a safe and environmentally friendly community hub, well into the future.

The works include:

  • A larger fully accessible stage in the foyer with ramp access either side. Over the stage hangs a pink neon sign with the new name for the space, The Other Stage.
  • A complete revamp of the existing box office, including a lowered counter, has made the space more accessible for both customers and staff.
  • Extensive changes to the Green Room, including wider door frames and lowered counters and appliances, to improve accessibility.
  • The conversion of existing backstage toilets to make them gender neutral and more accessible.
  • New furniture and seating areas throughout the foyer area.
  • Installation of air conditioning in the foyer to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round.
  • A Community Library commissioned and built by the Young Changemakers in the foyer, stocked with playtexts and scripts available to the public.
  • A brand new Sennheiser radio frequency hearing system, replacing the previous infra-red version, for D/deaf or hearing impaired, and blind or visually impaired, patrons.
  • New modular radio mics to complement our existing system.
  • Improvement works to the roof, utilising foam technology to increase thermal performance, replacing broken skylights to protect the building from the weather and provide fresh air to backstage areas, and re-slating part of the auditorium walls to help protect against the elements.
  • The replacement of old outdoor lighting with new LED lighting, providing increased light levels, new working light in the dock area and improving energy efficiency.
  • The installation of new windows in all dressing rooms and offices – increasing the energy efficiency of the building, and the refurbishment of the foyer window frames – treating the aluminium to protect it from degrading, and coating the exterior in black to match the aesthetic of the building and provide enhanced protection against the elements.

The Theatre is immensely proud of the continued work undertaken during the building’s closure, and is thrilled to welcome its audiences back to a newly modernised space. The QNew project has been made possible by generous contributions from Arts Council England, London Borough of Havering, Veolia Maintenance Trust, City Bridge Trust, Ian McKellen On Stage, The Theatre Trust, Equity Charitable Trust, Tesco Bags of Help, McDonalds Romford, Fowler, Smith & Jones Charities, Rotary Club of Brentwood á Becket.

The QNew Transformation Fee has played an extraordinary part in giving the Theatre a refreshing facelift for artists, participants and audiences alike. The Theatre would like to thank each and every audience member who has donated since September 2018, which has raised over £100,000 for the QNew Transformation.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch will be further launching its Autumn 2020 Season on Tuesday 1 September.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, Hackney Empire, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East jointly announce the postponement of 2020 Pantos

Today four of the biggest pantomimes in London announce their postponement to 2021. Hackney Empire, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Theatre Royal Stratford East will not be producing their annual pantos this year due to the continued uncertainty of government guidelines for restarting public performances.

All four theatres have a long tradition of producing high quality and community driven Pantos, last year their four pantos were enjoyed by over 145,000 people, including over 40,500 schoolchildren, many of whom would have been experiencing theatre for the first time. Each Panto is created uniquely for the theatre and its community working with some of the UK’s most talented artists and providing opportunities for new talent to make their professional debuts. These four Pantos typically employ over 285 freelance artists, including writers, directors, designers, actors, technicians, stage management and many more, demonstrating the financial impact Panto has not only for a theatre, but across the theatre industry. The production process for such a large-scale show as Panto would have begun at the start of August. Without an announced date from the Government on when theatre performances can resume without social distancing, making doing a Panto economically viable, these theatres have now had to take the hard decision to postpone to 2021.

Yamin Choudury, Artistic Director and Jo Hemmant, Executive Director, Hackney Empire said: “Firstly we want to thank everybody for their passionate and tireless support, particularly over the last five months, the donations and messages of love and encouragement we have received have given us the strength we need to keep pushing forward in increasingly punishing circumstances. It makes decisions like today’s even more difficult. Everyone involved in bringing our world famous pantomime to Hackney is devastated, but we know that we have to make any decision necessary, however unimaginable a few months ago, to ensure that Hackney Empire can remain this incredible and singular sanctuary of creativity and togetherness for another 120 years and more.

Pantomimes are long and expensive to plan and produce, monopolising the minds, efforts and generosity of hundreds of people in the process. Writers, directors, composers and performers, designers, builders, technicians and stage managers, box office and front of house staff who greet you every single night for over 60 performances, the list goes on and despite potential government funding for some – to be confirmed at a later date – the numbers just don’t add up while uncertainty remains on reopening timing and restrictions.  We need to stay strong until we can welcome audiences back when it is safe to do so. This doesn’t mean that nothing will be happening at Hackney Empire over the holidays. We are working on a festive programme (stay tuned…) for our audience to enjoy this December. It will be on a smaller scale to our usual offering, but it will be just as magical; maybe fewer custard pies, but even more fairy dust!”

Rachel O’Riordan, Artistic Director and Sian Alexander, Executive Director, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre said: “We are desperately sad to be postponing the Lyric’s 2020 Panto Aladdin to 2021. It was a very hard decision but one we had to make to ensure the future of our theatre and manage the unprecedented levels of risk during this difficult and uncertain time. We have a long history of Panto at the Lyric; our first was in 1897. It is a magical time of year for our theatre, the artists we work with and our community – we love seeing many generations of families coming together to experience the joy of Panto. Economically Panto is massively important to the theatre industry, it is also for many their first experience of live theatre and for others the first opportunity to work professionally. We are incredibly proud of the talent that has come through our Panto Ensemble, which provides a pathway into our industry for many young people who go on to have incredible careers in theatre. We are committed to Panto being back in its rightful place on our stage in the heart of Hammersmith and delighting our audiences in 2021.”

Douglas Rintoul, Artistic Director and Mathew Russell, Executive Director, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch said: “Whilst we’re excited that audiences will still get to see our latest pantomime Aladdin in 2021, fingers tightly crossed, we’re incredibly sad that this is the first time since 1953 that Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch won’t be producing a pantomime. It’s the highlight of everyone’s year – for audiences of all ages and the team at the Theatre too – celebrating togetherness through a riot of silliness and spectacle. The experience is so important for huge numbers – for children enjoying the magic of their first theatre visit, those who go to the theatre once a year and our most loyal followers, who’ve been enjoying Hornchurch pantos for a long time. The impact on the charity’s finances will be pretty dreadful too, and we’ll be seeking and needing lots of extra support to get us through the rest of 2020 without it. In the meantime, we’re hopeful that they’ll be a different and smaller but still very special alternative festive offering, which bookers can read more about on our website.”

Nadia Fall, Artistic Director and Eleanor Lang, Executive Director, Theatre Royal Stratford East said: “Panto has been part of the Stratford East Christmas since 1884 and so it’s with a heavy heart that we have to postpone Red Riding Hood. So many people tell us that the Stratford East panto is the first thing they saw as a child, and so many families come every year as their Christmas tradition, and each year over 11,000 school children come to our panto too. It’s also our biggest show; employing a wide range of freelancers, who may now have no work over the Christmas period. Panto means so much to our audiences, the artists and freelancers that put it together and to us as a building. Despite the disappointment for this year, we are determined that we will have a brilliant panto in the making by Carl Miller and Robert Hyman next year and we can’t wait to share Red Riding Hood with our audiences in 2021.”

The customers for each Panto will be contacted by the theatre they have booked with moving their booking to the equivalent performance in 2021. The theatres thank their customers for their continued patience and support through this process.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch launches Summer Unlocked, a programme of Summer holiday activities for young people

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is launching a programme of digital and in-person holiday activity for young people of all ages, Summer Unlocked. The programme sits alongside the Summer Inside-Out project, for which the Theatre received funding from the London Community Response Fund, administered by City Bridge Trust, the City of London Corporation’s charitable funder.

These summer activities are designed to help offer safe and inclusive spaces for young people to develop friendships, grow confidence and most of all have fun learning and developing their skills as theatre makers with support from professional tutors.

It is also an opportunity for the theatre to support local professional artists and put them in a position to inspire young people, create exciting new work and share some top industry tips.

James Watson, Head of Learning and Participation, says ‘Now more than ever it is so important we help young people re-engage with each other, continue to build social skills, and re-gain confidence as they prepare to return to school in September after nearly five months at home. We are working hard to respond quickly to new ways of working safely and are excited to be welcoming young people back into the building for our biggest ever summer holiday programme.

All workshops are limited to 15 young people and have been designed to adhere to the latest government guidelines for COVID-19 Secure working and social distancing.
