A LOCATION has been identified for a new theatre in Warrington.
A business case – which will include the possibility of converting the former drill hall into a performance venue – is currently being developed.
The site, on Bath Street, is part of the Town Hall footprint.
The theatre proposal forms part of the council’s plans to boost the borough’s arts scene.
Cllr Dan Price, executive board member for culture and partnerships, said: “A business case for both capital and revenue funding is currently being developed.
“The case will include the possible conversion of the currently vacant drill hall into a performance space, as well as considering the implications for other venues such as the Pyramid and the Parr Hall.”
No date for when the matter will come before the executive board has been set.
