Bolton Little Theatre say it is an exciting season ahead for them.

David Smart, chairperson for Bolton Little Theatre, said: "I absolutely love live theatre.

"This time in the theatrical calendar is always really exciting for me, it’s the start of something new.

"Theatre is a physical art which tells a story, and is going to bring all sorts of mixed emotions to bare.

"From laughing out loud from a good comedy, enjoying family fun at a good Pantomime or even shedding a silent tear, knowing that you have also lived that story in some part.

"Bolton Little Theatre, is like the old sitcom “Cheers” – “where everybody knows your name” – we are a community of friends, from many walks of life who excel in wanting to bring quality entertainment to the community of Bolton.

"Why not come and say hello, you would be made most welcome."
