Repairs are being carried out on the roof of The Key Theatre. While it was scheduled to re-open in the autumn, it was announced that delays meant it would not re-open until next year.
This meant the Christmas Panto will be moved to the New Theatre in Broadway this year.
However, despite the blow at the Key Theatre, there is still plenty going on on the stage in Peterborough this year.
Here are some of the shows scheduled to take place at The New Theatre – with something for everyone on the calendar.
