Martina Murphy, chair of Oldham Coliseum Theatre Ltd, said: “We’ve done shows in the library, we’ve done shows in the arcade.
“So we are meeting the people where they are and to give them something we could not give them in a building.”
Their latest production, The Engagement Party, held at the town’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, is their largest since the theatre shut and a show where the audience are expected to participate.
Sid Akbar, who plays Bilal in the show, said: “There’s a lot of drama, a lot of dancing, a lot of music. We’re all set up for an amazing engagement party but drama unfolds and the show focuses on the joy and families and communities.”
