MiR is rehearsing

Come along to our rehearsal! After a brief introduction to the production, you’ll have the chance to experience our day-to-day work first-hand – from the very best seats in the stalls, so you don’t miss a single detail. A post-rehearsal discussion with members of the production team rounds off this extraordinary experience.

MiR at my place

We’ll come to you! You’ll be visited by three members of staff from the MiR, who’ll bring plenty to talk about and some musical treats. The only condition for this free offer is that you bring together at least 10 people who’ve never been to the MiR before and provide some light refreshments.

Talk to MiR

Following selected performances, the bar at the MiR remains open. Come and have a relaxed chat with the cast and crew of the production and join us as we round off the evening together!

MiR – my stage

Take the place of our singers and dancers for a change – on selected performance dates in the Main Theatre, we offer you the chance to experience the MiR from an unusual perspective: let your gaze wander across the impressive auditorium from the stage.
