Sunday Morning Coffee - Simple Local Life

Fire-damaged Chester Playhouse expected to reopen in spring 2023

Some good news for the arts community, as the Chester Playhouse announces their reopening plan, following a devastating fire.

When the theatre eventually reopens, Chandler said it shouldn’t be noticeably different from the outside. The inside will feature upgrades that were part of the original refurbishment plan.

“It won’t be quite the same playhouse, but we’re seizing the opportunity with this extensive rebuild to improve on things that we couldn’t in the initial project and make it a safer, more accessible, better functional space so we can last for the next 80 years,” said Chandler.
