For many of our audiences, attending a performance at Lighthouse is all about what happens before them on the stage or screen and rightly so, that is what they have paid to see. The curtain goes up, the baton raised, the microphone lifted - that magical instant in which memories are made and lives changed.
But nothing ever makes it before an audience without the first moment of inspirational thinking and the endless hard work that goes into creating a spectacle. It’s a process that can take years and the involvement of many people to get to that magical moment. Our family pantomime takes more than a year to create although the rehearsal time itself is only three weeks!
To that end, as the region’s leading cultural provider Lighthouse forges partnerships with a range of cultural organisations and individual artists working to realise their artistic projects.
