Theatre Outings
Mainly, I will be organising visits to Questors Theatre, Mattock Lane, Ealing several times a year whenever there is a production in the main theatre that takes place on a weekend matinee.
Tickets are also occasionally arranged for other theatres around West London - these will always be for matinee performances, usually weekend days.
Tickets for Questors Theatre, usually at a discounted rate of £10, will be available to all Ealing U3A members.
Questors has a number of productions coming up in the latter part of this year - see details in 'Dates for your Diary' below.
