Performing arts for all in the centre of Hull

𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗪!

Tickets have gone on sale today for our dazzling production of the classic musical Annie at Hull Truck in April.

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take a lot of determination, and sometimes, a lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package.

‘Little Orphan Annie’, the irrepressible comic strip heroine takes centre stage in one of the world’s best-loved musicals just in time for the Easter holidays!

With its Tony award-winning book and score, including the unforgettable songs ‘It’s The Hard-Knock Life’, ‘Easy Street’, and ‘Tomorrow’, Annie has reminded generations of theatregoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and you can bet your bottom dollar that you’ll love it!

This magical production is brought to life by NAPA's young company for one week only! Please don't delay - tickets will sell quickly for this production.

Our full-time students present an evening inspired by the musical Salad Days.

Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds’ timeless musical is an absolute romp of polite naughtiness and saucy encounters, that puts a smile on your face and a tap in your toes.

Salad Days was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Bristol, in June 1954, and was subsequently transferred into London at the Vaudeville Theatre in August of the same year.

It became the UK’s longest running show of it’s time, running for 2,283 performances, and held the title until it was taken over by Oliver! in 1960.

Hull University Performing Arts Society present RENT the musical.

Set in the East Village of New York City in 1990, Jonathon Larson's RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.

RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create under the shadow of HIV/AIDS, all whilst trying to pay their rent. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this ground breaking musical.

Featuring hit songs such as Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, Out Tonight, and One Song Glory!

Please be advised this show contains adult themes.
