The activities, which include, dance, drama, storytelling, spoken word and backstage tours of the theatre, will be streamed on the theatre’s social media channels from Monday, July 20, until Tuesday, September 1.

Wolverhampton based practitioners Fran Richards, James Collins, Tonia Daly-Campbell, Peter Chand and Jaivant Patel will lead the online workshops.

Vicky Price, associate director of development and communications said: “We are delighted to launch this online activity which is a first for us here at The Grand.

"I do hope our patrons enjoy watching or taking part. We have received many messages from our audiences saying how much they miss coming to the theatre and this will help them feel that one step closer to returning.”

This project was funded by the Arts Council England’s Emergency Response Package to Covid-19.

The theatre received a £30,000 grant in order to continue 'community engagement' over the next six months.
