Hidden away in a secret annexe in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank records her thoughts, fears and dreams as she and seven others live in constant fear of discovery. Alongside her parents, Otto and Edith, her sister Margot, the Van Daan family, young Peter Van Daan and Mr Dussel, Anne navigates the challenges of life in hiding.

Through Anne's remarkable diary, we witness the tensions, friendships and the moments of hope that emerge within the confined space, as each person struggles to maintain their humanity in the face of unimaginable uncertainty. Honest, moving and often surprisingly funny, Anne's story captures the resilience of the human spirit in the darkest of times.

A powerful and unforgettable true story, The Diary of Anne Frank continues to inspire audiences around the world with its message of courage, hope and humanity.

Presented by Congleton Musical Theatre


Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

7,000 Stranded Passengers. One Small Town. A Remarkable True Story.

Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and a Tony Award on Broadway, this smash hit show now arrives in Congleton in a brand new production which is set to share the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

With an electrifying score and a cast of characters who will leave you cheering, “Come From Away” is more than just a musical—it’s a celebration of humanity, resilience, and the power of community. Step into a world where kindness conquers all, brought to life with invigorating music and stories that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the goodness of people.

Age guidance: 10+. This production contains swearing, themes of violence and terrorism.

Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony and 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty And The Beast, Little Shop Of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. The cast is chock full of amazing roles for women of all ages making this a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
