Bristol Open Stage 2017
Last year, Bristol Old Vic celebrated its 250th birthday by throwing open its stage to everyone for the very first Bristol Open Stage. Over two showcases and one extraordinary festival on BOV’s birthday weekend in May, over 100 Bristolian acts shared their own creative work in a celebration of Bristol’s creative heart.
This year, Bristol Open Stage returns for the theatre’s 251st birthday and BOV are inviting everyone in Bristol to get involved. “You might be a solo performer, an amateur theatre group, a songwriter, a community choir, a teacher, a stand-up comedian, a poet, a dancer, a lawyer, a street artist, a baker or a musician – we want to hear what you think makes Bristol special, be entertained by your inspiring stories and showcase your creativity.”
12-6.30pm, FREE. For more info on lineups and more, visit www.bristololdvic.org.uk/bristol-open-stage-2017.html
