Surrey Civic Theatres: Digital Stage


Surrey Civic Theatres are a gathering place where artists, audience and our community connect and find inspiration. During this time when people cannot come together, we are committed to finding ways for people to connect and find inspiration in a virtual space. Our new Digital Stage invites local artists and artists that have a following with the existing Civic Theatres audience for online performances. These presentations will embody the joy of performing arts and will be produced and presented adhering to safe distancing practices. This will also provide some much-needed revenue for artists who are all experiencing a sudden loss of income as a result of the pandemic. These family-friendly, free online events are easy to attend: just follow the link on the City of Surrey YouTube channel at:
