Why Supporting Local Theatre Matters Now More Than Ever
In this post, we explore why supporting local theatre is more important than ever. From building confidence and life skills in young performers to fostering creativity and community spirit, local theatre offers so much more than just a night out. Discover how your support helps keep the arts alive, accessible, and thriving right on your doorstep.
Why Volunteering Might Be the Best Thing You Ever Do (Seriously)
Feeling disconnected? Volunteering might just be the answer. At Louth Playgoers, our volunteers aren’t just helping run shows—they’re building community, boosting their wellbeing, and making a real difference in a part of the country where access to the arts is limited. Find out why getting involved is good for the heart, mind, and soul (and maybe even your social life).
